The dawn of a new England era?

Dear Sir,
The World Cup and England's departure, I personally think they did very well to reach the quarter-finals of the competition. Do you remember a few months back that we were in danger of not even qualifying? The European Championships are in two years time and the quality of players like Beckham, Owen and others will mature. Then we will have a formidable team, who can go to the next World Cup with plenty more experience and a desire to win.
