As for developing the underage academy FFS they got beat 7-0 need more than to develop them need a miracle.(and yes i know most were under 18S) still a shock though.
Like you say times have changed but ask many of your countrymen if they prefer to see all English player teams or the state the clubs are in which do you think they would prefer?
England won 1 nill thanks to a penalty and a missed penalty form the other team and couldn't even beat Denmark that is the state football is in.
Oz you should listen to the interview with the Accy manager, who praised mostly young kids sticking in there against a senior and more physical league 1 side. The rules state you have to have been training at the club 3 years hence the changes and dependency on U18s
