The England forward line

It really does beggar belief doesn't it. The crocked Michael Owen has now returned home and we are left with the dubious aerial power of Peter Crouch, Wayne Rooney and an untried kid called Walcott. At home there's Andy Johnston, Jermaine Defoe and one or two others who are tried and tested goalscorers. And yet somehow we are expected to believe that we can power past Ecuador then either Portugal or Holland in the quarter-finals with the abovementioned trio.

Lady luck - are you there?
