I don't think 'they' as in the fans truly believe they will win any tournaments they have competed in since the '70 World Cup. The newspapers, particularly the tabloids, whip up this fever of hope in people, getting 'big football names' to say how great England's chances are, before writing off the entire team when they don't live up to the paper's stratospheric expectations. As an England fan myself, I usually feel a bit down after England lose a big game, but I didn't get that after the Portugal game, probably because I'd been bracing myself for a 3-0er all week so the 3-2 was a pleasant surprise. I think England can get out of their group, but win it? Don't be daft. I will sob uncontrollably into my beer should we lose against Germany though...
