Michael Owen does knee in 1st minute

Postby Maddogmike » Wed Jun 21, 2006 8:50 am

Inside 60 seconds Owen's right knee buckled underneath him and he was stretchered off. Looked like a medial ligament injury, so they had to bring Crouch on to support Rooney.
Gerrard replaced Rooney at the 70 minute mark and scored in the 85th to put England 2-1 up.
England then conceeded an awful goal in the 89th minute from a throw in to level it 2-2, but still finish top of their group and face Equador in the round of 16.

Unlucky for Owen, does not look good even for a soccer injury!!!

England will definately miss Owen moving into the second round. Rooney still appears not to be 100% match fit as yet, and Crouch is no where near experienced at World Cup level than Owen.

England will be looking even more to midfielders like Gerrard & Lampard to continue scoring the bulk of their goals.

Surely Theo must get a run now.

Absolute waste of time in bringing him over if they dont put him on the field when they are short on strikers... Sven stuffed up the squad selection i reckon.

Don't know if Sven would want to risk using a bloke who has never even played an EPL game yet - but good on him if he does.

I think if he takes the risk, he should be praised. He might not get praised up so much now, but I reckon he may in the future when England has one of the games great strikers and he was the man who unearthed his talent, and gave him a chance.
