Why are our sporting expectations so high

A very apt subject on the day the wimbledon mens tennis final will be played. So this week we brits have had a semi-final at wimbledon,a final in the junior wimbledon tournament and last night a boxing unification bout in germany took place.Involving a brit. And guess what,more dissapointment in all three events. More andy murray woe at wimbledon.Will that boy ever reach the final there? The 16yr old kid who lost in the juniors,surely any career in tennis he had must be over! And then loud-mouthed haye in the boxing.Which doesnt bother me as much because of all the stunts he pulled before the bout. But nevertheless that losing streak which is british sport goes on.And on! Next year is the olympic games in london,which as a setting and event no doubt will be great. But any high profile gold medals being won by a brit?i can think of maybe two. Otherwise the same old story:( I know that no single nation has a god given right to win everything and all the time.But maybe just sometimes huh. It wouldnt be so bad but for the fact our nation gave most of the sports played today to the world. And that kinda screws with the average brits pysche. Now that we are useless in all most all of them! So high expectations?you betcha. Reality?lets not go there.Much
