Can England Win the Next World Cup?

Gary Lineker goes in search of answers to this question, gathering the views of some of football's biggest names, including Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klinsmann and Carlo Ancelotti.

England has the strongest, most watched, most successful league in football. Yet none of the superstars who grace the Premier League were even born the last time the English national team won a major trophy. Can England win the next World Cup? England goal-scoring legend and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker goes in search of answers to this 44-year-old question, gathering the views of some of football's biggest names, including Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klinsmann, Carlo Ancelotti, Harry Redknapp and Johan Cruyff.

Also contributing their views are the FA's Director of Football Development Sir Trevor Brooking, former England coach Terry Venables and Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore.

And Lineker looks at how the Spanish have transformed the fortunes of their national team, how the Germans have reinvented themselves and asks if English football needs to change now, and if we really can have the best league and best team in the world at the same time.
