Owen was poor. He might've done a few things of note, but he at least 3 shots that Rooney would've took without a doubt. He was useless at trying to scare the keeper by running at him, as he always pulled out at the last moment, and always came off worst for any 50/50 balls with defenders.

He's lost his pace, which was his main threat anyway. He doesn't have any real physical presence in the game, and when you have a player who has no pace and no physical strength to scare defenders with, you'd want your man to have extraordinairy technical talent, which I don't think Owen has. He's not terrible, but I think we have better options avaliable. Heskey not being one of them.:

I couldn't pick fault with any of them last night. I've finally seen the value of Gary Neville being in the team and Ashley Cole, damn, he's got bags of energy and is fast as fuck. Felt sorry for Owen but he's creating goals and he'll get one eventually. Beckham was probably the most quiet player in the team but he was getting fouled quite a bit. And Rooney, well...

The defence can let in as many goals as they like, the creativity in the team is phenomonal and there's always goals on the horizon. Portugal will be an interesting game (my two picks). Either team could do it and go on to win the tournament IMO.

No-one had a particularly bad game, i was impressed with both full backs and James did well in goal, though i felt he maybe could have got a stronger hand to the shot leading to Croatia's first.

May aswell stick with Owen, Vassell is hardly known for scoring loads and that Owen-Rooney partnership is getting better by the game. I would like to see Heskey come on instead of Vassell if we're in trouble against Portugal though, Andrade and Carvalho both have the pace but don't seem as tall as Couto, so i think Heskey could be used to pressurise them in the latter stages.

I think we can beat Portugal because they don't look like scoring too many in all honesty but, considering this is the first time we've reached the quarter's abroad, i won't be mad if we don't.

Gary Neville is a wank defender, him and Phil are both much better attacking, Neville made one good block all game, and stood up to his man well (when he was acting as a left back) other then that I thought the same as I always have, stick on Carragher at right back.

I don't know, I think Robbie Keane made an EXCELLENT decision in joining Spurs and he's much better off for it.

As for Owen, he was poor but I'd still keep him in the starting lineup, he still looks better than our other options and if he did suddenly find his form, we'd be well away.

Neville is the best English right back, Carragher is not an improvement.

As a Spurs supporter who had to put up with his constant "one million defeats in a row, yes, but I think he worked really hard so something positive has come out of this loss" all season, I have to agree.

Meanwhile, Italy are creating a few chances, but they're lacking something pretty major (asides from goals). I don't know whether it's conviction or strikers who can stick away five yard tap-ins or what, but they've not been convincing so far.
