I don’t get articles like this?? Of course we are going to enjoy it and go over the top, how often does something like this happen for us. We may win we may lose but you can be damn sure we’ll enjoy ourselves while we are still in there with a chance. I
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OP can speak for himself but I think his issue was, as usual, the media and the few fans that allow themselves to be hyped by them?
As usual, the tournament hadn't started and almost every outlet was talking of the 'route to the final'. Now maybe every country in the top 15 does that. We'll never know. However, given England's dismal record in tournaments, especially this one, you'd think there'd be some caution?
Of course, should you get papped out the knives will be out from those self same media outlets having let the country down again!
Just the way it is.
And, BTW, the nausea over 1966 is not because you won it. It is because it is an irrelevance after 60 years. Would be like Boris mumping about the Napoleonic wars in parliament...oh, wait...

It's a pretty big deal if you ask me knocking Germans out considering they are a traditional bogey team. Not sure why you would expect a muted reaction

What’s the problem with getting hyped up and excited, it’s all part of the enjoyment. As long as the team stays grounded I don’t see the issue with fans and media going mental.

I'm up for it.I like a bit of happy mental, add that to just being allowed out to play after months in the hoose.
I'd be going home in a wheelbarrow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s exactly it mate just enjoy the moment. I still don’t expect us to win it but we’ve got a chance and I’m going to go mental in the meantime ha.
You expect the fans to get hyped, only natural, but when im watching sweden ukraine and the commentators spend the whole time going on about england, it kinda ruins the rest of the tournament for the nuetrals.

As Silver has alluded, the media hyperbole is par for the course and then…. No problem in fans celebrating but the OTT stuff in the media is the same old same old
I think England can win the Euros without playing particularly well.

Possibly, but I do feel we will have to put in a heck of a performance in the final if we get there.
Fully agree. We come across so tinpot is incredible besides, its the lesser of the 2 major tournaments and we beat the worst ever German side whilst playing at home in the round of 16.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This German side is definitely better than the side that finished bottom of their group at Euro 2000 and then flukes their way to the World Cup final 2 years later. People like to talk about tournament routes, Germany in that one was
Group:
Ireland
Saudi Arabia (who they dikcked 8-0)
Cameroon
Knockouts:
Paraguay
USA
South Korea
Christ.
I’d still be going tonto if we had progressed through to the semis and I’m certain we’d have had songs written about us winning the thing. It’s not like we haven’t done that before
Fans are quite right to fill their boots. If you can’t enjoy beating a team you haven’t beaten since God was a wee boy, then what can you enjoy?
Always said we should should try to separate the ordinary fan supporting
their nation, from the triumphalists and the OTT media types in search
of most views/reads. I still wriggle a bit when I remember the build up
to '78 WC when we were riding high & had just beaten England 2-0 in the
HI's. Many thought (not hoped) that Scotland would go on to the SF or F.
Having said that.
