I happened to be in Italy when they won World Cup in 2006. It was a small town in Tuscany so not that much crowd, but I think the atmosphere during the game was hectic enough. And after the game there were lots of tractors/trucks/cars full of people waving flags and celebrating (coming from even smaller towns I think). Maybe they really get involved only in later stages. England haven't had that luxury recently.
