^ I think that the antipathy to international football seems to be a uniquely English thing.
Not sure why it works elsewhere as the Spanish, Brazilians, Italians, Germans, Clogs et al top level pros earn similar wages, often in the Premier League, and compete in the Champions League too.
We have a bunch of kids and misfits playing for England that are not good enough to compete at the sharp end and seem to be less than interested in making a proper fist of it. I think that is the apparent lack of interest and willing that I fall down with most.
FWIW - I dont think that quotas or giving Chelsea a reserve team in the Football League are the answer.
