How far have we gone since we won the world cup. There's your answer. Have we got better in the last 60 years or worse considering there wasn't many players from abroad not until the 00s and we seem to have got better in the competition
By the way back in the old days there was only 16 teams so was easier. Plenty of English players in academies up and down England. Don't you think forgiven players and coaches add to the experience and make some players better from a younger age look how skillful the game has got now compared to pre 90.
