Why does England lose the World Cup?

The English soccer team never won a world cup away from home. Thanks to its fourteen last failures, I am going to describe a pattern of what happens every time with this team.
I divide this pattern into seven steps.
First step: The English are always certain that they will win the world cup before the tournament. For example, Sven Goran Erikson, who was the coach of the team in 2006 said, “I think we’ll win it”. This idea comes from an old presupposition: England invented soccer and should therefore be the best today. But in reality, England is a country like many others.
Second step: During the competition, England loses against a former wartime enemy. In six of its last eight World Cups, England was beaten by Germany or Argentina.
Third step: The English conclude that they lost because of a piece of bad luck that could only happen to them. I have got plenty of examples, the most recent are 2006 and 2010. In 2006, they lost because of the expulsion of Wayne Rooney that would not have happened if Cristiano Ronaldo had not tattled on him. In 2010, England would probably have won if Frank Lampard’s goal had been accepted against Germany.
Step number four: Every one else cheated. The most obvious example for this step is the goal Maradona scored with his hand in 1970, and that is known all over the world as “the hand of God”.
Step number five: England is knocked out without getting anywhere near lifting the cup. The only exception was 1990 when they reached the semi-final. Otherwise, England has always been eliminated when still needing to beat at least three excellent teams. Since 1970, Bulgaria, Sweden and Poland have gotten as close as England to win a World Cup.
Step number six: The day after elimination, normal life resume. England has two ways of celebrating an elimination: finding itself a scapegoat like David Beckham in 1998 because he got a red card after 46 minutes against Argentina or heralding an heroic
