Have expectations ever been so low?

For an England tournament campaign. Anyone else feeling the same?

Usually going into a World Cup or Euro's I always have that bit of expectation that maybe, just maybe we're going to do really well, only to see that expectation crushed after a few games. For these Euro's though I just can't seem to get excited at all. Although I preferred Hodgson to get the job over Redknapp I can only see a real struggle to get out of the Group and even if we did I can't really see us progressing any further.

Here's hoping I'm proved wrong though.

I see what you mean, but for some reason, i think we might have a successful year. By no means do i think we will win it, but iv just got a feeling. I think that some of our better players have had great seasons (Hart, Terry, Lampard, Parker etc), and it could follow on into the Euro's. And, its been a while since we had a manager like Hodgson. But here's hoping that it a great summer for us all. I am really looking forward to it.

I think expectations being low, it will work in englands favour. With the media spotlight being off, england will go far in the competition but get picked at the post by spain or holland. Cant get myself excited for the euro's though, not like a world cup anyhow

As always, I think we'll win, beating Germany in the final.

Hopefully, I'll be correct this time - can't fookin' wait TBH

My GTFC expectations have been lowered though, I'd be happy to finish above Lincoln and whoever went up from the BSN (and a couple more).

Terry has been gash all season and it would be a travesty if he is in the starting line up.

I can't say my expectations have gotten any higher following the appointment of Neville as a coach.

I think we'll probably struggle to get out of the group stage this time, to be honest. First time in a long while that I've thought that was a likelihood.

Good point is, if we have low expectations, and don't expect too much then we wont be too dissapointed when we crash out early will we?-- or will we?

Agree. France will win our group and I can see us screwing up against either Ukraine or Sweden.

Call me a miserable turd but I can't remember the last time I was really excited about the England football team. Probably some time in the mid Sven years. I wish Roy the best but I have low expectations these days

Expectations are set by the media are they not?  I don't have high expectations but who's going to know about it no-one and the same applies to all of us.  The media will still be the same unless someone prints different gogglygook.
