I don't think it has and if anything it should have been considering
alot foreign betting exchanges had England down as second favourites to win it....

We can only discuss 'what if' in the context of the thread & my opinion can't be 'proven', but I would still rather the Premier League restricted the number of foreign players & allowed more English ones the chance to develop.

I doubt we have ever had a more talented squad of players since the days of Finney, Matthews, Mortenson, Lawton and Mannion. This so called 'golden generation' has won or come near to winning nothing which tells me the problem is more to do with the managers more than the team, rather than selecting the best players perhaps we should be selecting the best team, just like we did in '66.
