When will they be decided? Or have they been already? Or does anyone know what number crouch will be wearing
??

I think in the last friendly he had 12 on his back but 21 on the front of his shirt.

That doesn't really help does it? :?

Yep. He will win the golden boot......

What are the odds on that? I'm tempted to whack a tenner on

I heard he thought he had loads of rooms dedicated to him at the stadia in Germany, but it's just that they write "Crouch" above the doors instead of "Duck"

50/1

Not a lot else to say.

nothing else needed to say

Lampard would be a better bet than Crouch in my opinion at 50/1

My logic are that England will definately win the World Cup, Rooney is injured so Crouch is almost certain to start every game, so he will score all of our goals. Fact.

Good bet. If I was going to get an England shirt I would definitely get Crouch on the back.

 :shock:

Hmm why was my name edited away from that post?

Just wasn't sure if you were actually betting on it or not.

There's a shock.

He isnt almost certain to start though, Sven has even admitted thinking about Joe Cole up top or Steven Gerrard, Both of which are better options...

Therefore he'll get his usual camios from the bench.

From Sven's web chat:



So he is likely to start and if Owen's fit I'd have thought he'd play 4-4-2 with Crouch and Owen.

Joe Cole or Gerrard are fine as a second striker but there's no way we should use them as lone strikers.

Wasnt on about using them as long strikers - can you imagine Joe Cole on his own?!

I was saying that Joe Cole and Gerrard could and possibly will be used as support strikers with Owen up top...

 :thumbs:

I anticipate seeing Crouch up front with Cole/Gerrard as a second striker supporting the big man for the first game, and then after that seeing Rooney and Owen start with Crouch coming on late in the second half to chase/protect a game.

But if Owen isn't fit and he may well not be, especially for the group games then Crouch is a definite starter.

If Owen is fit then Sven should keep Joe Cole on the left and Gerrard in midfield, a non match fit Owen could do with some help from the super hard working Crouch.

Of course if Owen and Rooney are both fit then Crouch would be on the bench but it doesn't look likely.

If Owen is fit I'd go with Carrick in midfield and push on Gerrard and Lampard (they could interchange during the game to avoid being easily marked).

I'd do exactly the same if Crouch had to take Owen's place.

Cole on the left and Beckham will obviously fill the right.

But whats his number gonna be!!??

What Number will Beckham be?  :D

I think I'll get an England shirt with Reeves on the back. Then when w go to Germany you'll all be able to recognise us.

That and the large police presence tailing Dave around :shock:

Yeah,"duck" actually refers to the number of goals he'll get in Germany

Yes,obviously but not logically-Gerrard should play on the right.

Oi  :D
