DREAMS of a world cup victory for England have never been so high for 40 years. But how far can England go in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Well were 3rd favorites with the bookies which is always a good sign, we have the strongest team we’ve had for many years could this finally be the end of our 40 years of hurt. The problems we face is our lack of attackers with Rooney still recovering, Owen now injured and the young, inexperienced Theo Walcott. Only leaves us with the lanky Peter Crouch. With Crouch playing up front, defenders and midfielders alike, tend to loft the ball up pitch in hope Crouch will use his height as an advantage.
No problem in midfield, in-fact Sven is spoilt for choice. With the likes of Lampard, Gerrard and Cole, we’ve got one of the best midfielders in the world cup. All our midfield players can defiantly strike on goal from distance, as seen from Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole already.
With all this at our benefit we have a fair good chance. Except for the amount of injuries that our building up upon the squad. Owen out, and two of our great defenders- Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand- suffering from minor injuries, could affect our ability to play with experience. Now into the final 16 after finishing first in our group we have a huge chance to finally lift that cup again.

Yes. Although it is devastation news for England and for Owen personally, there are other good players on the team.
Let's try to think positive! This is going to affect the team's morale. I think they still have a good chance.

here is a fact for ya, the only player you can bring a replacement in for is a goalkeeper if you don't have another one to replace him, but the most teams take 2 but the rules don't state that you have to take 2 goalkeepers so why not just take one and use the other space for an outfield player.

NO. They had up to 24 hours before the start of their first match to change an injured player. Otherwise, they have to make do with the squad as it is now

To Cucaio90.........England are a bunch of clowns are they? That's why they are throught to the next round then! Take note....none of the 'big' teams have played outstandingly well, apart from the Argies so why is it that you say England are going out in the next round? We have just as much chance as anyone else.

NO mate, an injured player can not be replaced if he was fit when selected for the squad at the start of the WC.

No, not once the tournament has started. Replacements for injured players are only allowed before it all starts...which is why there was all the worry over Rooney.

You don't have to worry because England is going home on the next round anyway.They're a bunch of clowns,they can't play.

It is silly that you can't bring another player from home if one is out with a long term injury!
In the rugby world cup you can!!
