This makes for interesting reading and shows just how far and how quickly the national set up has come. The FA gets a lot of flak (rightly), but under Dyke and later Clarke deserves enormous credit for what they've been able to achieve in those eight years.
I wondered in another thread how deeply things have changed: is this just a fortunate chance meeting of a gifted generation of players with the right manager, or is it indicative of a deeper systemic shift in how football is organised at the national level? The signs seem positive.
