• England may have crashed out of the 2018 World Cup, but there are signs the team could go one or two steps further for the follow-up in 2022.
• The English squad is remarkably young, and by the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the team will have four years more experience under their belts.
• The team has already grown remarkably in just two years, and that growth seems certain to continue.
