After reading soccernomics, do you think Germany and Holland are successful this year because members of their national teams play in their own leagues and their league does not have as many imports as other leagues.
England has decided to go for the money and become the largest/greatest league in the world. Each big club has maybe 3 English guys? I'm not convinced that winning Euro or the World Cup is the main priority for the English FA anymore. Their goal is to make as much money as possible every season through tv contracts for league and FA Cup matches and prize money in Champions League.
