England doesn’t produce young players and they have 355 national players in the EPl more than Italy. Their problem is that they don’t have technicians.
They don’t have any manager worth adamn since they have to rely on foreign talent to win anything. Look at the disgrace to actually have to choose between an italian and a german guy to head the Nt while the last one to lead them to a WC was swedish

I know Beckham is known for his intelligence, but top-flight football in England has probably never been 90% English and certainly not in the 70s. It’s an insult to the Scots, Irish, and Welsh whom also made up a large chunk of the league then. Who were some of the best players in the League during that era? George Best, Kenny Dalglish, Denis Law, Peter Lorimer, Billy Bremner, Liam Brady, Frank Stapleton, Eddie Kelly, Kenny Burns, Frank Gray, John McGovern, Martin O’Neill, Archie Gemmill, John Wark, George Burley, John Toshack, Steve Heighway, Willie Donachie, Asa Hartford, and so on and so forth. None of the aforementioned players were/are English and there were many, many more. If I want to learn how to improve my free kick accuracy, I’ll ask David Beckham, but if I want a history lesson in top-flight English football, I’ll seek answers elsewhere.

Furthermore, England cut off it’s nose despite it’s face and it had nothing to do with the play on the field. Their omission from 2008 Euro (well, so far at least, we still have the Austria issue yet to resolve) was just the repercussions of constantly putting their hands in the fire. This time they got burnt.
