England are a national embarrassment.
I wonder if England had never won the world cup, whether we would have had such high expectations all these years? Granted that this time are expectations were at their lowest that I can remember, but maybe we are just a small island in the grand scheme of things and ever since 1966 have been almost cursed with this belief that we should win 'because we're England', when we've never really had enough in the ranks, regardless of our league or history of influence on the world in other 'disciplines'
