    England 2 Germany 0 , but when it comes to great kids the Germans wallop england 10-0.

    Sancho, Havertz, Haaland, it never stops.
    The Germans always get the best kids, even English ones, and turn them into worldbeaters by age 20.
    How come?

    Erm......Jaydon Sancho is English. he asked to be transferred from City to get more first team experience. He chose them, he could have gone anywhere else if he wanted to.

    Erm........ I know that, but he still went to Bayern Leverkusen !!!
    And left City.
    And didn't join Liverpool, Barcelona, Real or PSG.
    And turned into a 100 million player in the blink of an eye.
    Seems to me he knew what he was doing, or at least where not to go.

    I think it’s the fact that the German league really does allow talent to shine. If a player is good they give them a chance and a decent run. Combined with the overall attitude and approach it simply allows those with talent to flourish.

    Germany is 1.5 times bigger than the UK, more choice.

    Using this logic Holland would be the second worst team in Europe.

    Logics sound, more people = more choice.

    I reckon you are on the money, the kids do seem to get a run out more regularly, plus the "european "style of play seems to get them acquiring skills a bit quicker than the heater skelter of PL, the pressure cooker of Spain, or the cynical diving and rolling of Italy. Ajax in the Netherlands is another club that schools youngsters brilliantly, and Chelsea is starting to get the message. All good by me.
