good piece here http://www.espnfc.us/team/england/44...new-generation

But to sum it up basically players born in the 81-89 range who would now be 'in their prime'

England have 2 top players in Rooney and Hart, it's essentially a lost generation outside of that. The one before it produced a huge amount of talent that underachieved internationally, a lot to do with personal decisions.

But the 1990-97 range of players who are just pushing through now look to have a ton of potential



In that list I think you have a lot of very good players and more than a few with definite potential to be some of the best at their position in the world

Great post.
