Poor old England. The problem appears to be that the populace as a whole seems to be possessed of a genuine belief that they are capable of winning any sporting competition that they enter. This of course leads to massive disappointment in virtually all sporting fields - Ruzedski and Henman have even ruined the normally unattainable (and consequently enjoyable to watch) Wimbledon Championships with false hopes. Much better to take a leaf out of ireland's pathetic sporting record - qualifying for anything comes as a complete surprise and consequently anything after that (even loosing) is a massive bonus.
