That's being looked into, fyi. We can't have the rich becoming richer as the poor become poorer. Equal distribution of misery is a top priority atm.
As for the quality of English footballers, I'm going to say that the team had, I think, sufficient quality to be world champions. The WC stakes just aren't high enough (individual awards can be earned without winning the championship, too), and they don't play as a team nearly long enough to be as compact as they are as part of their respective clubs. UEFACL/League tournaments are a much better representation of their ability... because they give a damn. The current setup means that competitions with the national team is something that pro footballers do on the side. Besides, nation-states are so pass
