I don't really follow English Football (why would I being a Liverpool supporter ) but it's sad to hear Michael Owen is injured again and unlikely to play for England in the World Cup.

I remember watching him play for England against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup and his goal (assist from Beckham) was a magic moment of true genius.

Be honest - he was unlikely to play again anyway

I think he had a good chance to partner with Rooney in the early group stages.

if you ever needed to explain what schadenfreude is....

Was he the one that started playing for the other team?

How d'you figure that out?

I don't have an axe to grind, but he's not been part of Capello's plans for a while, or ever for that matter, and at best would be fourth choice to partner Rooney after Heskey, Crouch, Wright-Phillips (in no particular order).

Heck he's not even first choice to partner Rooney at Man U as far as I can tell - that in itself should say a lot about his chances.

He hasn't been any good since he left Liverpool.

thats right dear, quiet now though as men are speaking..

oh and stick the kettle on love, cheers

Final proof that there is a god. Michael was good once, but lets face it he's made career on a few bright shining moments.

Nowadays you wouldn't want taking the place of someone who might actually score a goal for us!!

You mean like Jermain Defoe?

Defoe : 39 caps 11 goals
Owen : 89 caps 40 goals

He was actually pretty good for Madrid but he was never going to be played ahead of Raul.


As for going to WC, he never was.
