Pshaw. I like all of Owen, Rooney and Crouch. I think they're all good players. How often have Owen and Rooney played alongside each other and how many times have each of them scored while that has happened? It'd be interesting to know. I think they work incredibly well together. Crouch to me is much better as an impact sub. He's proven this in the past and it's much more likely that England will go for corners nearer the end of the game, where Rooney is ineffective and Crouch is highly effective.

Of course, we all know it'll end up with Crouch coming on after 30 minutes anyway since one of Rooney and Owen will end up injured.
