I think the 2000s generation that just won the World Cup is potentially England's greatest; there's never been a pool of players born in the same year that have achieved as much as they have at such a young age, but the question mark is whether they'll get the opportunity to make good on their potential. The summer of success is testament to the tremendous work being done at club academies, not at the FA, and there's such a depth of talent now that it's impossible for some of them not to break through; the players will filter down to smaller PL and Championship clubs as the pathway at the very top will always be closed, but there are too many good players for them to not eventually leave England with a far broader and more impressive pool of players to choose form than they currently have (I mean Jake Livermore ffs, come on).
