England will only underachieve if we don't get out of the group stage at this world cup (then again it depends who is in the group) at last so far there is no big expectations coming from England, we are in a transition phase with lots of young players coming through, nobody is talking us up this time but that could change again when the tournament gets closer, i hope not because it's the last thing we need heaping on all these young players, it seems the biggest danger to England achieving anything worthwhile is once again down the the British press (gutter press) who seem to get off on England actually failing, God knows some of the shit they regularly put out just before big games or after games we have done well in, makes us all think over here that they actually would rather write stories of English failure rather then English success.
