Peter Crouch is a pathetic loser!! He SUCKS!!\nPerhaps he has sucked Sven-Goran's *** to be in the team.\nTheo Walcott would be better than Peter Crouch. Perhaps Erickkson is giving him a chance, or wants England to lose!!\nBut if Peter Crouch is benched, ENGLAND WILL BE FLYING!!

i felt sorry for m.owen as he has had a tough season with injuries and been a physio myself i know what these guys go through.\nsven still doesnt know his best 11.if the right side of midfield had more pace and attacking prowess i think england could get to semis,but neville is doubt and beckham isnt that type of player.\nhargreaves did enough last nite to balance team in midfield.he gave lampard room to attack which is what he is there for.j.cole was excellent and u seem spoilt for choice in midfield.its who to leave out is the problem for england.lennon would b interesting on right of midfield.still no one wants to see players injured and the media never have a good word to say no matter what.if england won the world cup i wonder how the media would react.in a way i hope they do so these so called patriotic journalists can eat their words..and i aint english

Well i wish this issue was put on discussion long time ago, the football fields lost a very talented player who was one of the best in the world but the problem is that he was from wales and they never qualified to the world cup.. he was the great goerge best, he was so talented and nowadays we r missing important players like keane who never qualified to the world cup and therefore i think yes they should do a combined team and this will be better for all, they can all play under the name of the unied kingdom..

incredible decision by sven he should have picked defoe and put walcott on standby - the kid has no experience he hasn't even made his debut for arsenal - it makes no sense

England are just warming up!!!\nThey miss Wayne Rooney. Erikkson should use Theo Walcott instead of Peter Crouch.\nHave patience!!!!\nENGLAND WILL WIN THE WORLD CUP thia year!!!

Well I watched the England celeb's v England legends that was played at Craven Cottage yesterday, and I have to say, the celeb's looked quite good, but the legends were excellent. They countered the better fitness of the younger celeb team, by exceptional positional play, and silky skills, and they linked up very well together, especially as some had never played with each other before. Beardsley looked dangerous enough that he should still be in the Premiership, and Seaman probably kept them from winning easily with some great first half saves.\nIf the rest of the world can link up together like legends did, I am sorry to say, but I think ROW should do it.\n(P.S - Send Beardsley to partner Owen in Rooney is not fit!!)

I think it depends on several factors. Firstly we dont know what suprise Sven has got when it comes to squad selection and actual team selection for the games.\nThe next major factor is which players are going to be fit - Rooney, Terry and Owen currently injury worries and there are still more games to go before the World Cup so anything could happen.\nThirdly, it depends (assuming they are good enough to get through the group stage) on the teams they are selected to face and WHICH England team turns up - if its the one that lost to N.Ireland, Trinadad & Tobago will beat us 5-0. If its the one which beat Germany 5-1 away, then we will definitely have the ability to challenge the likes of Brazil and Argentina for the trophy.\nWith the right (and fully fit) squad, a bit of luck and no Kim Milton-Nielsen, we could go all the way: although I am expecting a Quarter Final place with the possibility further progression.\nLets see....\n\nCOME ON ENGLAND!!\n\noh and stay away from the dreaded penalty shootout!

'Blessed'. Hmm, there's a word.\nNo, let's face it, he isn't really fit, even though he has been given the all clear. I'm glad he can play though, as Rooney not being there can't be used as an excuse when they go out in the group stages..........England won't win the World Cup - ok?

The truth is no we dont .....on his day this boy can be magic but hes never been as he was in France 98...if he hits form he can score against anyone but the fact was before he did in his knee he wasnt fit and wasnt on form england could have played without him then and will be fine without him now...the trouble is who replaces him...thats where defoe sould have fitted in..svens big mistake...England will miss him if he was due to hit some form but we have a good enough squad to make up for him!

No kidding.  How many goals does he plan to score?  Probably no Rooney, limited Owen at best.  Crouch is just tall, but there are plenty of midfielders to cross it to him.  After Crouch, Walcott and a bunch of other teenagers in reserve with one cap between them. Good luck to the English.  Probably will not win their group and may not make it to the round of 16 at all.

That's a tricky one mate \nSven Goran Eriksson say's he doesn't play enough games for Chelsea to be part of the national team, And then Selects Theo Walcott who 1) Has never played a 1st Team game for his club Arsenal and 2) Sven has never seen Walcott play any game before\nIan Wright (Ex Arsenal and TV Pundit), Shaun's adopted father, believes that Shaun's been left out of the England Squad because of the abuse He (Ian) has given Sven on TV regarding his tactics and Team selection. \nBut that is up for debate. But it does seem strange that Wright-Phillips has been left out.

Haha, the harshist criticism yet!\n\nI think he can play football (a lot of people say he plays well in the German league), but he is total crap for England.\n\nI think perhaps Hargreaves is bribing Sven, perhaps he has pictures of Sven having a 3sum with Richard & Judy, or something else as twisted as that.

I'll say why not, he's a good player.\nI do fancy him, he's my type of men.\nlove England!!!\nBut he definitely makes the game MORE interesting!

no walcott is a different type of player...more like Thierry Henry...skilful, fast and graceful. Rooney's game is a power game, he's the natural successor to Alan Shearer... I'd say the better question is - will Walcott eventually replace Michael Owen and be Rooney's permanent partner for England? The answer is likely yes but not for a while.
