I think when you speak of national pride, the English thinking they can win every tournament they qualify for etc - well that's because they can - theoretically any team can win it because they all have a chance and that's the magic of tournaments. But England have and often have had a team of 11 that many would consider world class and so naturally the people of England expect to do well and that's the key difference between a team of England's stature and a team of Scotland's stature.
England are playing shite on the biggest stage that there is at the moment I'm in no way defending that but I'm just suggesting reasons why as you put it that the English think they can win everything they qualify for.....and besides when it comes to national pride, look win or not it might have something to do with the little fact that football - the world's most popular sport - was formally adopted and crafted as we know it today throughout the world by none other than the English.
It's our sport, not that you'd know it because certain Argentines and certain Brazilians you'd think they were born with a football stuck to them!
