immense media pressure:
a team that has not won a major tournament since 1966 is built up by its media and fans as the favorite to win every 2 years. when it becomes evident that the team won't win it all, the team is called "disappointing," "an embarrassment," etc. and both the coach and players are, predictably, put through the ringer.
a similar thing happens in spain. no surprise, then, that these are the two international sides with evident psychological problems.
this is a pretty basic observation of international football.

The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect. - Jimmy Carter

Yep. The UK media especially the tabloids love to build it up to fever pitch then when we underperform (as is expected by the country excluding the media) they love to decimate them.
