Owen Hargreaves should never even have been picked for England. He is crap.

the under 21's is a vastly different standard of football tho, there is nothing wrong with using rooney, owen and defoe imo. As long as they get the service they will all score plenty of goals

as for hargreaves, he really isnt all that great a player but the thing is he's very vesatile being able to play anywhere in midfield and defence really if need be. But putting him on towards the end of a match when we need a goal is stupidity of the highest order.

the problem is that people like Owen & Defoe, and partially Rooney, they lack a physical prescense, eg shearer & sheringham. By having someone like Ashton who's awesome in the air to win the first balls into the box, it allows the poachers to score, you need 5 strikers imo in the world cup squad, and I'd give at least one of them a chance as they've been highly impressive. I'd also ponder giving a chance at some point to Pennant (He's been putting some lovely balls in at bham) Richardson, Downing, and anyone who we feel may be a key factor.

However as mentioned earlier, I don't think Lampard AND Gerrard fit in the same team. Have Carrick as a holding Man with gerrard imho (no offence to lampard but he digs in a bit more & has a better range of passing imo)

I can see Heskey getting recalled

i think that really would be the icing on the cake. Heskey is another David James, does well for club, but shite for international. Id rather give Darren Bent a run out over Heskey.
