Besides Stevie, there is also Fat Frank and our boy Crouchie who can put the ball in the net too. I like Defoe too. Good player. Not expecting too much from old Emile though. Never have, never will.

Yeah, but you see, you're British, so you have some incentive to see old St. George win, even if it comes associated with glory for the Mancs and Chelski's.
I personally dont care if England win or not, although I'd prefer they didnt because the British media is insufferable, much like the Toronto media, all you need is England to beat Brazil or Germany and it doesnt even matter how they do the rest of the tournament.
Fattie Frank may be alright, but I certainly expect Terrible Terry to get victimized ruthlessly by pacy opposition. And I highly doubt Defoe or Crouch get much more than the occasional cursory runout unless Rooney gets tossed or injured, and then Capello realizes that Emile Heskey is 6+ feet of useless and plays them. This might be the best scenario for England quite honestly, with Rooney being annointed sole saviour and hope quality international teams will just cover the hell out of him, frustrate him and effectively neuter England. Play Crouch and Defoe and you actually have some depth.
