 England are one of the most football mad countries in the world and have arguably the best league too yet always underperform when it comes to international football.

Oh come on :P There is no argument here, Premiership is nowhere near to the level of Primera Division and hasn't been there for years, way over a decade now. There is no argument whatsoever, the rank is clear if you control your bias. It's Primera Division - a massive gap - Premiership - an even greater gap - Serie A - massive gap - leagues from Germany, France, Portugal - gap - Turkey, Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine - gap - the rest in a totally random order (who cares anyway). I think I haven't forgotten about any decent league.

The problem with premier league is that they allow to many foreigners to play in it to get the big names in sport to sell merchandise and to get bums on seats in stadiums. The english players do not develop at teh highest level and their country team suffers when the top 5-7 players are injured or out of form. They have no reserve depth. 

The whole league should actually fund 3-4 of the smaller clubs strugglign to stay their financially and set the rule that 8 of the 11 men on the pitch are to be english players. then these players will get to play agianst the superstars of the world and grow their skill set.
