The English FA have been all smiles this year as both the under 17 and 21's came tops in thier respective world cup competition. This just shows the massive improvement born out of good structures at the youth levels of various English clubs. One can also stress that the array of top class managers in the premier have bolstered the leagues pedigree and competitiveness, these coaches are bringing in lots of tactical awareness into the english game thereby improving the players individually. There is unusually a wide array of young hungry quality players for Gareth southgate to pick from. Thier is no excuse for him not to succeed in next year's competition.
