I hope after that world cup mess, the FA and country as a whole take this seriously, its obvious this country has missed a trick with these things.

Yeah but usually at these levels England do alright cos the characteristics of players they pick are either strong or fast or both, so they overpower teams. When the technical teams become men, strength and pace isn't enough.
