Pilko Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nor do I, especially seeing as Rooney and Owen played up front during a lot of Sven's tenure. Can't believe Stewart Downing was playing for England in 2006. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 that friendly against Jamaica was mint. Easiest international hattrick you'll ever see. He claims a goal deflected in off someone's arse and a tap in, accurately whips a penalty into the stands and then finishes from six inches out to net the match ball.

NEEJ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did Crouch actually score against a decent international side? He just seemed to bully shit little no-marks in the international football world.
