England only had the Euro 96 and they lost their penalty shoot out against Germany, like they were allready used too.

Why do they do it? The England team seem to love tormenting their fans. There can't be many other teams who, in just about every tournament, start off with massive expectations and then drag their fans through horribly tense games in extra time and penalties, only to crash out at the last minute. It seems that England rarely loose in normal time, but always in some cruelly agonising way through extra time, disallowed goals, penalties and the dreaded sudden death against the Germans.
Really, I know we've spent most of our histories fighting each other, but please Germany, don't you think you could stop tormenting us on the football pitch? Pretty please?

Can the UK develop an Australian like zeal for sports and propel themselves into a suitably unreasonable high position on the medals boards? Or will it be a very British Olympics with stories of competitors hyped-up by gutter-press expectations, not quite making it despite being clear crowd favourites?
