i agree it does...but by playing alongside such good players has to be a good thing...and in fact any English player who does keep his place in a Premiership side must be very good to keep a foreign player out of that postion

so it can't really be skill level..Costa Rica aren't as skilled as us..they won both games...many other less skillfull sides have done well in the past..team spirit, skill and a will to win is what makes that happen

in the 60's we had many teams that had welsh, scots and Irish players in Div 1 [premiership]...so its not like we had 11 English players making up every side...we were at that time good enough to beat anybody
