yes bro, there is a expectation in england that they have a right to win every game and competition and every EURO AND WORLD cup. but they must realiase that like Spain and to some extant Holland england are only a top 8 team
Sadly, these printed (and false) stereotypes pass on to the general public. It won't be an easy week for all Portuguese living in England...

so how do you feel about your game against france?
They're capable of the best and the worst and they pretty much have been our demise at national level for the past years. It won't be an easy match, that's for sure, but it certainly is within our grasp.
I'm very worried about our physical condition, against England we fell apart around 70 minutes of play and then went on to play another 50 minutes. I hope that doesn't weigh too much on the players.
Originally posted by Palynkayou are correct. having lived in england for over 30 years.. i have fund that the English dont see football as just a game. There has aleady been some reports of violance against your countrymen here.

"We have got to face reality that we are a team nowhere near the top seven countries in the world. We pay good money to watch our players in the Premiership and they are very well paid. But we have got to wake up in this country and realise that we are not a great team"

I now think that Terry should be Enalns captain and then beckham should leave the internation scene
