Germany rebuilt just a few years ago.
Spain also has a great youth system; their U20 team that played here 3 years ago was very good. Same with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, etc.
Problem with Italy and England is imports. Inter won the Champions League with no Italians in the starting eleven. Other teams like Chelsea lack Brits, and those that play just fill in the gaps.
These countries need to put limits on imports and develop local players past the youth stage.
It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.
