With injuries to owen and rooney in particular our beanpole striker is going to have massive pressure on him to carry england through till rooney is fit, if he does play some part in the world cup. it looks like owen might be fit enough to partner crouch up front but if not Walcott and Crouch maybe the starting strike force.
I believe that whenever or whoever gets fit first that crouch will keep his place in the starting line up, i am sure the Crouch holding up style of play at the start of comp will sway sven to stick with the typical english way to play the game, and i think that is englands best chance to triumph in Germany
