I'm not soley blaming the media, I'm just saying that not all England fans are that cocky and think our games are going to be easy and we're a shoo in the make the finals. I hate the way the papers big us up and then slaughter the players when we don't do well and I'm well aware that it gives people who hate England already even more ammo to throw. Of course those papers still sell well, but it doesn't mean the people reading them agree 100% with all that is printed.
