Made in England by Kevin Raftery
It's no surprise that England embarrassingly exited the Euro Championships 2012 as soon as they faced reasonable opposition (Italy in this case). But what is the way forward now for England?
One thing that is for certain is that the English team will never progress on an international stage whilst the players are enmeshed within the current apparatuses governing the English FA. Not just has the FA allowed the Premier League to be saturated with foreign players so our English players struggle harder to make the grade; greed and power has always personified its culture.

What is it about English matches that give the game away? Image by Mat
It can be argued that same culture of selfish and ruthless self-ambition has rubbed off on English footballers and because of it they do not and cannot play as a unit. The differing pay structures for different players can also engender resentments in a team. Even the continental teams for most part participate in the same realms of greed but they seem to still have the edge when it comes down to competition.
The obvious answer is regionalised football based on the academy where the ruling goes that you play for the area you are in born in. As in if one is born in North Staffordshire they can only opt to play for a local club like Port Vale or Stoke City. This and the restructuring of the wage for English footballers, say £1000 per week plus expenses, could be the only way England can ever hope to lift the World Cup again

“Or, if English players were better there would be no room for foreigners in our league side. Spain are World Champions, but seems to be plenty of non-Spaniards playing in their domestic game.”

“Potteroldboy, Rooney clearly wasn't fit and should probably have not been selected and especially since it was his job to close dwn their playmaker.
The issue first occurred to me against Ukraine when he didn't have the pace to take a great through ball from Gerrard, close off the defenders and win a foot race in to the opposition box. It was obvious there was something wrong then. Looking at him - arms and neck etc, he looks a bit flabby given the high standard of footballers these days.”

“laythevale, Barcelona playing your chucklebrothers football scored 190 goals last season with Messi on 73. Spain are missing Messi.”

“One more point. The Premier League shares TV money between the clubs and according to league finishing position. In Spain Barcelona and Real Madrid have just taken their own TV rights. Hence they are stronger and the rest of the league - whilst still a strong league - cannot compete. So the top clubs in this country are being generous to the smaller top clubs.”
