There is a common mistake people make. They say, 'We need to play the young English boys.' Of course, but only if they are good. How can you measure that?

I got a lot of games under my belt in the lower leagues, and I don't feel the Premier League or England is that much different.
There are so many great players in the Premier League and of course the big teams are always the favourites, but the teams below them also play good football. The mixture of foreign and English players works really well.
