you sayin he shouldnt have picked Owen in the first place?
Well you got Rooney and Crouch, but of course the big question - will he let Walcott earn his bread? Is Walcott what you call "England's new hope" ?
Well it wouldn't be said here. Ok, it's been Univerisilized. It still makes me laugh. Imagine me calling the Superbowl - the Final. It wouldn't sound right.
I had no problem with Sven picking Owen, Rooney or Crouch. But two of them were coming into the tournament injured and/or unfit. If you're only going to take four strikers, Walcott should not be picked in this situation - maybe if you take five, but not four.
