at the end of the day owen would prob have had a shit world cup anyway as he'd be nowhere near his best after so long out.

as for rooney, yes he will be missed but one player doesnt win a world cup, footballs a team game and sven has to deliver, at the end of the day thats what the sweedish prick gets paid 5million a year for.

geoff hurst waan't 1st choice striker in 66 and look what he done. its upto defoe,crouch,bent,ashton to try and get in there and do a hurst and cement there name in history
