Almost all of them are their club's best players in their positions, which is why most of them are so highly-rated.

Five of England's starting eleven last night started in the recent Champions League final. Meanwhile, the Premier League's top scorer started up front.

This season, five of the top eight goal scorers in the Premier League were English. However, only two of those five are with the current England squad and one of those wasn't used last night.

Whatever you think of them or however you want the to fare, there can be no doubt whatsoever that England have a very talented squad this time around. Sadly for them, it looks like their manager's ultra-cautious approach is going to cost them once more.
