the number of children playing are now at record levels in the UK so yes the game has never been more powerful which is great .

as mentioned a million times on here the sooner a breakaway European league takes off the better
In regards to your point about home nations, I would make the point that they have all been shit for about 50 years while the British leagues were full of British players, and have improved recently with the globalisation of the premier league, maybe a smaller group of core players (Bale, Ramsey) playing at the elite is better at the top end.
