They've gone into the World Cup pretty heavily hyped since '98 and failed to produce any tangible results. Anyways I think it's a pretty big feat for a country to win one World Cup at all considering there's only been 17 of competitions (with 32 teams) and two teams have combined to win 53% of them.
I think Jagger hit the nail on the head when he said it's more the British media that trumps up England than their fans. I don't know any England fans, myself included, that expected them to win in '06 or '02.
