When you look at the midfield duo of Morrell and Allen it was by far the weakest midfield in the competition. All of Scotland's midfield would make our side.

If we have no one coming through in that area who is of genuine international standard the golden era is well and truly over.
Two of the teams at the Euros went home pointless* and several countries had just one or two points. Maybe some of those teams could have possibly had worse midfield units - not that it matters greatly as a national manager of small countries have a very small pool of players to choose from.

*Turkey, with a population of 82 million were one of the teams that ended up with zero points.
