Well England didn't do very well in the World cup as you should all know because of the amount of coverage it got so i won't go on about that. Instead i'm going to talk about where the England team should go next, Now many people have said to use the younger English players and i believe this is a valid point to some extent because they will need to step up to full International level at some point but the problem could be making that step early and being "out of their depth" as they say. Now most pundits are saying that the English team should be made of completely of the young players who will then go on to participate at Euro 2012 but they need to qualify first and i think that is something that the pundits have forgotten because if the current England team failed to make it to Euro 2008 when they have a mediocre group, who's to say that the young players will do the same, at the end of the day most of these are teenagers playing against full grown men and they simply won't be able to compete at that level. I believe that they should use the younger players but guide them into the team gradually so that we qualify for Euro 2012 and then can maybe go onto win it. Another problem is that the young players aren't playing much football for their clubs so they will struggle at international level because that is a step up from club level and i know people say that the foreign players are stopping young english players getting into their club sides but i think that it's a bit of an excuse if i'm honest because England under 21's made it to their finals and didn't win and the only success Enlgand have had is at the under 17's championships just a month or two back so these under 21's etc aren't going to break into a team with full international players in it are they? and the clubs can't sell all their foriegn international player because it will mean that the clubs will drop and other teams will just walk over them.
Right i'll leave it there but feel free to tell me what you think of the situation and have a good summer!
