It actually wouldn't be like that (I think, I haven't been to England in a few years).

When England score a major victory, sober people are just suddenly nice to each other in public in major cities. Which is typically unheard of. People just go out and kick the ball around, just talk to each other on the bus or tube (again this is normally a huge faux pas). It's more a sense of confusion and shock that reigns than anything else, nobody knows how to deal with it, being so used to the horrific post hype meltdown and autopsy that it's become routine.
