I like Owen but it was clear to see Crouch had a much better game and it would be harsh to drop him after that. Unlike Swindon, I take it you actually watched the England game? If so, that remark is even more laughable. |

Minus a good through ball he didn't look like a man that would score goals or create... That clear header was the miss of the match. If you're going to select an inexperienced striker you at least go with one who has scored this season. |

Crouch, lanky streak of piss, end of.
A poor day just got marginally better, Holland beat the czechs so we qualify for Germany World Cup.

Crouch isn't even Premiership class, let alone international.
Half a good season for Southampton doesn't make an international striker.

Crouch played well?I was watching a different game He did ok in the first half. i.e showed a few reasonable touches. Nothing spectacular. No one actually played well. |

I thought Luke Young did his chances of a World Cup squad place no harm. Not spectacular but nowhere near as bad as some of them were. |

The England team sickens me (well football in general sickens me but that's another story). I believe we have a squad capable of AT LEAST getting to the last 4 of the Euros or World Cup but playing like that and with that drip in charge there is absolutely no chance.
I can predict now what will happen in the World Cup next summer.
We will draw our first game with Mexico
We will draw our second game with Japan
We will then have to beat Holland in the last game to go through. When the chips are down they will pull a performance out of the bag and win 3-1 and World Cup mania will sweep the country once again.
We will scrape past a mediocre Ukraine side in the next round before going out on penalties to Argentina in the Quarter Finals.
FACT!
Same old England :|

Half a good season for Southampton doesn't make an international striker. A WHOLE good season for Soton doesn't make an international striker-James Beattie |

Crouch was poor yesterday, it even got to the point where the england fans where making ironic cheers everytime he actually made a header or controlled the ball.
I can see why he is in the squad but to drop owen for him would be a bizzare decision.

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,
signed him from Huddersfield his name is Tommy Miller,
first touch is average but his second is a killer,
heeeeeey Tommy Miller!

I was stood in the Walkabout with a hundred screens showing the game and I must have watched about 5 minutes of it. And most of them were the extra time at the end.
Im not going to the world cup. Id rather support another England team much more worthy of my attention.
