I must admit I'd forgotten about that, but I hardly think Rooney was going to be the one to get the goals in Crouch's absence. His goalscoring record at international level is pretty poor, after all. Obviously he'll be missed, but his absence won't be quite as crucial as, say, Steven Gerrard's would be.
