Hubris

When it comes to sport, the English cannot seem to understand why everyone wants to see them beaten. Perhaps their arrogance and their attitude that they are obviously destined to win everything and that everyone else is there to make up the numbers has something to do with it. I was watching the women's cricket world cup and England came third after Australia and the West Indies, in other words, England didn't even make the final. Not to be bothered with such trivialities, an English commentator actually asked the England women's captain that, despite coming third did she not think that England were actually the best team in the tournament? I mean, you couldn't make stuff like that up. That I would suggest is genuine hubris!
