This is hardly very big oposition to score goals against especially when you have 4 of the best in the world passing to you.

See my arguement now?

Not really......Mate, that has been a standard response to Crouch's goal record for quite some time now. I counter you with this: If it is so easy to score against this lesser teams than why hasn't Heskey done it??????

I'm not saying Crouch will partner Rooney because he is the best player in the universe, only that he is the best option England have...and the goals prove it. Sure they might be against lesser teams, but having goals against lesser teams is better than having none at all!

No mate, I fully don't support Heskey at all.
I'm with JD for this one because he's been having a stormer but sometimes he has good and bad.. At the end of the day there is such things as a substitute

don't you consider darrent bent?

Well I don't..

Fair enough, mate. I just don't see Fabio going with JD. He wants a bigger target guy to partner Rooney. IMO that will end up being Crouch. JD would be alright with me, I just don't see him as the guy Capello will choose
