ENGLAND'S WORLD CUP - A LOST CAUSE?
I'm a big fan of England, and months ago, I shared the optimism that they could win the World Cup. However, I'm not so sure anymore.
Rooney's last minute injury was a big blow from which England was never going to recover. And Owen's Tuesday night's freak was one twist too many, and it seems to have put the seal on any remaining England chance. No Owen , no Neville, no Bent, no Defoe, only a half Rooney and no world class keeper!
Thank God England still have John Terry, but can their defenders still be committing schoolboy errors? And have England's central defenders lost their goalscoring instincts? Where are those brave headed goals we see regularly in the Premiership? Wont they now have to look at Joe Cole as an effective strike partner for Rooney?
The prospects look bleak, but I like to go along with Terry Butcher who feels that it's not a lost cause - that England really can do it if they apply themselves.
Inspite of all their problems, England should be good enough to scale the Ecuadorian hurdle this afternoon.
