yes I know about that, they had one before at Lilleshall
but what are they doing about the way the youth players are push forward the don,t get a look in at PL clubs
its all very well having these training centres its the progress of young players that is the problem

If I understand what you are writing, then I believe England are better than Belgium.

Belgium are very average. No creativity or fast play. Very disappointing.

None of the Belgium players in the starting lineup against Algeria stayed in the Belgium league beyond 20, most of them have never even played a game in it.

if we had a restriction on foreign players half the Belgium side would have to play in there own league or elsewere
and our young players could then develop and progress to first teams just look at the PL sides and look at the foreign players in the sides. most of the foreign players brought to the PL are of average ability and come cheap

The whole structure does need sorting, but not sure a nation like ours with a globally marketable premier league will really be able to.

Belgian football is a much smaller fish in terms of numbers.

But your point regarding foreigner restrictions definitely needs dealing with that's for sure, the foreign element has destroyed Scotland more than any other home nation in recent times at international level.
