I am very excited about the games this afternoon ;-)
I am just having my early morning coffee and freerepublic fix, getting ready for a morning jog.
England is my team in this tournament, and I am curious to see how England will play without Crouch in the team. Hopefully, with Rooney as a linking player, the midfield will be more drawn into the attacking game, and Owen can also come into his own.
I have to admit that the last two groupings haven't interested me all that much, but the next couple of days should be great.
Cheers.
After seeing the above, I had to check out the jam-cams. By golly, 4:30 in the morning and it's light over there already. I keep forgetting how far north you are.
I haven't found Crouch's play all that impressive, actually. Partly it's because he hasn't been getting much in the way of service that takes advantage of this height. At any rate, I think they'll be fine with Owen and Rooney. We'll know at noon tomorrow over here.
