What's an "international class" defender though? Gonzalo Jara looked alright in the Chile defence but is a free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest. Another of their defenders was Gary Medel (a midfielder by trade) who got relegated with Cardiff. Commentators and pundits like to push the idea that international football is on some higher plane compared to all other levels of football, but it's just not the case.
OK, put it this way. If I was to pick four different World's Best teams, none of Englands back four would be in them.

A completely arbitrary system, but I see your point.
