Whether this is a joke or not, there are 87 English players who have played at least 4 Matches for a Premier League side this season. Just over 4 players per team on average who have played a majority of their matches. 13 of the 25 best performing English players are playing for a top 7 side but more importantly, only 14 of the top 50 players so far this season have been English.

Different people will look at that in different ways but I see it as English players all round getting better experience playing with better players around them. The Premier League and the quality of football in it will be worse off without huge number of foreign players and young talent like Sterling, Kane, Alli, etc won't get the sort of quality experience they do now.

Sure other countries play more home grown players, but they benefit from the fact that their National sides all tend to play a game style that's very fluid and accommodating. I feel like the issue we've got here is that the National Side plays so differently from any club side that players have a hard time adapting to it.

But yea, I personally don't think Brexit will benefit the national side's chances of success.

I think it was meant as tongue in cheek, but thanks for your analysis

As I said at the top, it probably was, but yea, just tried to get some discussion going about it, think it's an interesting topic.
