In no way is this actually true though. You're getting confused by a comedy football song ("It's coming home"), and the general jokey positive atmosphere around English football at the moment now that we're no longer absolutely dreadful every tournament. The idea of England being any more arrogant about their chances than any other nation is just a meme (for us and other nations).
The players are a young and down to earth group, the manager is the furthest from arrogant you can get, and no pundits back here were seriously predicting England to win the world cup. On the BBC the predictions were 7x Brazil, 3 x Argentina, 2 x France and 1 x England (which she admitted was just a heart decision and her head said Brazil).
As for guaranteeing we'll never win anything, I can't really disagree considering we've never won a thing in my lifetime, but we were only a penalty shootout away from winning the Euros!
