We need to restrict the number of foreign players a team can use in a match.
I believe Lampard said words to this effect.

Wales were playing Germany tonight (you knew that right? ) and that's been on. Heroes therefore started 10 minutes ago. Saw it last week anyway.

Jose Mourinho possible England manager??

That’s bull, English players who are good enough do get through, what's the reason for our failure to qualify for tournaments in the 70's 80's and 90's, it's all to easy to blame the foreigners imo the way kids are taught at school has a lot to do with it and I'd like to see Jose get the job, sadly the FA have a habit of giving the job to the wrong man, see current incumbent

That great football sage.
Too many foreign players - rubbish. Trouble is, we're not producing enough good managers, when was the last Englishman to win the league* (Ferguson, Dalglish, Wenger, Mourinho since him). McClaren got in on the back of, what, a League Cup win at Boro. Gosh. I take my hat off, reverently.
If we give up and rely on artificial quotas that reduce the competitiveness and excitement of the Premier League to try and get more clodhopping Row Z sloggers into the national side, we deserve all we get. Anyway, I remember England being rubbish back when a foreign player was as rare a sight as a half time quiche. We've usually been rubbish, but occasionally just competent enough to get everyone's hopes up.
* Howard Wilkinson, of course. From a different era completely.

About fifteen years, by my watch. I don't think he's capable of facial expression.

Erm what? Most World Cup winning sides only have 2 or 3 world class players, Owens record puts him right up there as well imo
The point about school football is more to do with technique, it needs to be taught early and they were head and shoulders above us, waiting until they are teenagers is to late after wasting their youth playing competitive football from the age of 6

There's a lot of pessimists on this forum, either that or Russ has fixed it so he voted multiple times.

So does Gary Lineker's. Unfortunately, neither of them is in a fit condition to pull on an England shirt - you can't build a team around crocks or the elderly.
Bring on the youth, get the decent players who've grown up, er, playing with those nasty foreigners at Arsenal (Bentley, Muamba, Walcott) or Villa (Agbonlahor, Young) etc. in. Out with the Nevilles, James, Campbell, Beckham and anyone else who'll be 31 or over come 2010 (which includes Ferdinand, so that'll be sayonara to the Bash Street Kid as well, he can take his urine sample bottle and eff off).
Worryingly, there's Gerrard, Terry and Ashley Cole who'll be 30 then, and they'll have to be the backbone of the side. Rooney, assuming the sod has learnt to stay out of the ref's face by then, had better be in there. Crouch will just about be in his prime and has the knack, his goal tonight was excellently taken. Worth his weight in cheese straws (about five stone, by the look of the lanky streak).
So that leaves about six good young team players to find, a right back, centre back (Richards/Lescott perhaps), centre midfield (Barry please, plus a bit of backup), winger who can cross it (not bloody Downing for heaven's sake, and Wright-Phillips is yet to convince me completely) and a nippy striker (Agbonlahor or Walcott will do nicely).
Oh, and the small matter of a goalkeeper - someone will be praying Foster comes good, I reckon.
My team, then:
Mystery Keeper; A Cole, Terry, Richards, A Right-Back; A Winger; Barry, Gerrard; A. Nother-Winger; Rooney; Crouch
Bench: ?, Lescott, Bentley, Walcott, Agbonlahor
Manager - someone who doesn't ditch 4-4-2 in a vital game and play people out of position.

Re: England/Scotland @ Euro 2008?
Robert Green should have been given a chance in goal ahead of Carson imo and you could add Mark Noble and Michael Johnson to the squad as well imo
