Rooney's foot pretty much did bend when he did it, nothing to do with the boots. It was pretty nasty watching..... lovely jubbly.
Its simple enough, without Rooney, England cannot win the World Cup. Without Owen, England will struggle to make the Quarter Finals.
If its the same bone he broke last time (which I have reason to believe it is) then he is going to be out for 3 months, and he will miss the World Cup, if it takes 6 weeks to heal, then he is not gonna be able to be fit for the World Cup, and seriously, he might be Wayne Rooney, but It'll have the same effect on the team as when Beckham did his.
So if they are both out, what should England do?
My thought was playing Crouch alone up front with Gerrard just off him, bring Carrick into the midfield to play the holding role, and let Gerrard and Lampard burst onto balls laid off by Crouch, also allows Cole and Beckham to get crosses in for someone who could (in theory) get goals in the air.
