One other thing. Days like yesterday, does just make me more vex that Sven leave Defoe out of the 2006 WC to carry an injured Owen and Rooney, coming off a broken metatarsal. The man was in form. We'll see if it happens again. Kinda reminiscent of them leaving Barnes on the bench until it was too late vs Argentinain 86.
Lemme come to find out you's ah Hengland fan...
Nah, 1966 must remain the only high note.
But that doh mean yuh cyah watch the games and see what going on. In 86, England wasn't looking threatening in that game until Barnes come on. Back then men was saying is because he black. Fuh all the ways Fenwick does behave like a backside, he never could say how he ent kick down Diego on the 2nd goal.
If you check Defoe form in the league in 2006, it's hard to justifiy leaving him out of the squad for Rooney, who had a broken foot, Owen, who didn't play for months, and Walcott, who was still a schoolboy. is just a Sven thing, I suppose.
I could make similar comments about any number of teams, but this thread is about the beatdown that Wigan collect, with 5 goals coming from Defoe.
