Germany coach Joachim Low has offered his opinion on England's national team problems.
Low has said that the Premier League has too many foreigners for England to succeed as national team.
Germany have qualified for every World Cup quarter final since 1938.
"If England has a problem, it is that their league has a disadvantage because higher percentage of foreigners, so it becomes difficult for national coach to get things moving.
"We have changed over recent years because lots of young German players in German clubs are given an advantage over foreigners and we're benefiting from that. In England many foreigners and perhaps that is not always beneficial.
"I believe we have a good blend in Germany, a strong league with two or three of best teams in Europe. But I'm not unhappy if players are abroad. We can benefit from Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil having different influences and cultures and coaches. They benefit personally as well and it helps players to mature."
