Disagree totally.Except England has arguably the best youth players in the world. The problem isn't at youth level.

Based off of what?Disagree totally.
Actually living in england all my life. Money isnt made available from the FA or the government for schools on a national level or to start local boys teams. To work with children takes a criminal records check (rightly so) which costs money time and effort, which puts people off doing it. ABased off of what?
So you're point of England having poor youth is some shit about kids wanting to play video games and the senior team being shit, not the actual youth teams. As someone who has watched the England youth teams for a prolonged period I'll tell you there is amazing youth talent in England, as was evidenced by them dominating all international tournaments this summer and Chelsea's academy which is almost exclusively English players dominating the youth league.Actually living in england all my life.

Ot of kids would rather spend their time playing on consoles now as well. It takes parental motivation to get kids actively involved in sports whicn the majority dont do. We have some of the most hyped and over-exposed young players in europe but they very rarely reach the levels that are expected of them because, in many cases theor talent is overestimated and we simply dont produce enough to be genuinely competitive. Anybody who has watched the england football team for a prolonged period can tell you this.
Until theyre older its impossible to say whether theyre as good as you think they are. Jack wilshire, joe cole, oxlade chamberlain and kermaine pennant were perfect examples. very highly rated as youngsters but none of them turned out to be anything special. Very few of our 'wonderkids' turn out to be as wonderful as we thought. Tone down the hostility by the way. If you cant have a civil conversation without getting insulting then youre going to find yourself having conversations on your own since everyone will block you.So you're point of England having poor youth is some shit about kids wanting to play video games and the senior team being shit, not the actual youth teams.

None of that has to do with youth players or youth football.Until theyre older its impossible to say whether theyre as good as you think they are.
