To think, Raheem Sterling hasn’t even entered his peak yet. It is a frightening prospect, really; one that will have Gareth Southgate - and Pep Guardiola - rubbing their hands together.
You almost forget he’s 24, maybe because he’s been playing senior football since 17. If he’s this good now - what can we expect in the next four of five years?
But we shouldn’t cast our minds too far ahead. We should sit back, relax and enjoy the Raheem Sterling we have in front of us now.
Because there’s no better football player in England, if not Europe. Bursting with poise, invention and killer instinct, he was untouchable at Wembley.
England’s most complete attacking force, with the potential to become one of the best this country has ever produced if his career continues in the trajectory it’s currently on.
The Czech’s didn’t have an answer for him last night. In this mood not many teams would.
A hat trick, as well as earning England’s penalty duly converted by Harry Kane, it was quite a night for the Manchester City star.
The calmness he displayed in picking his spot for England’s third of the night particularly pleasing on the eye.
Long gone are the days where Sterling panics at the sight of goal. He now flourishes, he’s now lethal, he now - more often than not - scores.
It begs the question, who’s England’s most important player - Kane or Sterling? There's a valid arguments for both.
Not that Southgate will be giving the issue a moments thought. The two in tandem are as good as you’ll find in Europe.
But Sterling - at the moment - is on another planet.
