Agree 100% with Spy, and in my mind it all started with the Beckham-Sven era. As for those who blame the number of foreigners in the PL for the downfall of the national team, just look at those foreign players, they work hard, train hard, and you rarely read much about their private lives ( not to mention their better overall skill levels and technique). At last years Dennis Bergkamp testimonial, I think it was the first time his family had appeared in public. English players are mostly in the news for their weddings, their nighclub brawls, drunken antics and so on.
