Don't Choose the big names but choose Owen - Fat Guy on Couch screaming at TV
It is often quite fascinating to see English fans swing between absolute hatred and extremely love for their just because of once off displays.
For Owen to be back in the team is not impossible. Beckham has shown that (although Becks actually plays for a team not just some random social gathering with a gigantic Stadium somewhere in Northern England). Owen will never be the same like he was at Liverpool, but he can be a new option that's if he can out perform Defoe, but I really doubt that can happen. Ever. For his sake, he can hope Defoe has a bad period. But Ashley Young or Agbonlahor will probably fill in that space. So yeah, Owen, better luck next time.
After Walcott's contribution towards the thrashing of Croatia in Zagreb couple of weeks back seem like the pivotal point of Capello's reign. However couple of days before, the display against Andorra warranted much criticism. Yet again couple more days before that, many questioned the Italian's call to drop Owen from the squad. I really doubt many of them questioned his decision after Zagreb.
But here we are a month down the line, Owen has got a couple of goals for the absolutely useless Newcastle. The once regular is now at the end of much hype of a possible recall. Many people have commented on the BBC that how a terrible decision that it was to to leave out Owen.
I have to feel sorry for Capello, the man leaves out Owen and destroys Croatia but some fat guy drinking beer off his stomach infront of the tele criticise him for leaving out a striker that has probably the worse record of consistency (in actually staying fit) since yay long. He was probably the same person that asked for the big names to be dropped when things didn't work out for England under McClaren.
For all those who forgot Owen is here is a video that summarises him and his career for England or him after leaving Liverpool for the big bucks.
