For a great footballing nation NEVER to travelled to any tournament (world cup or European cup) and made a single final is proof. I think the fact that only two of the squad play in another league combined with the fact that there isn't really another league as fast and furious as the English one (a bit more technical and patient) is a major problem.
Allthough nobody wants to see their best players go to another league I don't see England becoming world champs until they do
You raise good points, but perhaps if Sven played to England's strenghts and not this continental style we would do a lot, lot better. He tries to impliment English players in a continental style and I'm not sure if that works or not. However you raise a good point, but with so much money in the EPL would you want to take a wage cut and change leagues?
