Disagree. Owen has not been playing up to snuff the entire time, now that England can call up someone new, they will have a full-time striker. Not disagreeing with you, just curious. Who else do they have as options besides Crouch and Rooney? And what do you mean by "call up" - can they drop Owen from the team and bring in somebody else. They can't. They could've before the tournament started, but now that it has they've only got the roster they have. The 4 forwards thing was really, really, really, really dumb. Especially when 2 of them are already injured and 1 of them is twelve and was obviously not going to get playing time. I thought they could call up another player, with the rule that Owen couldn't play again for the rest of the tourney.
