  The truth is that England have never been overly interested in Internationals and the World cup.
  They just pay lip service to FIFA in that regard. I believe 1966 was more luck than judgement !
  The premier league is the most important comp. The loan system and foreign players dont help the up and coming English talent....the National manager is a puppet of the FA and couldn't pick a good player if they (the FA) didn't want him in the team Mind you the FA wouldn't recognise a talented player if he stood on Brighton beach in a blue and white striped shirt with a seagull perched on his head ! (now where have I heard that before mr barry ?) hahahaha

  Re 1966: Ah, you must be too young to remember that our 1966 triumph was a calculated master-stroke by Alf Ramsey. He was the first International manager to employ the 4-4-2 system and the other teams could not cope with a team without wingers. So it wasn't luck .....although having that Russian linesman was a little lucky even if ultimately it didn't make much difference."
