first of all both defoe and crouch will be subs for england as rooney and owen will be the first choice, and defoe better regain his spurs starting place first anyway.
secondly bowyer tackle was bad but at worst only deserved a yellow card, bowyers bad reputation got him sent off.
i know the rules say if you raise your arms its a red card but crouch's push was harmless.
as for alan shearer he is a great player and has achieved loads in his career but for far too long he has been getting away with too much over aggressive behaviour and some times damn nasty and dirty play, ie stamping on neil lennon a few years back, he like playing the mr nice guy role its a bout time someone told him a thing or too.
crouch will never be the most prolific but he is a good player, good touch and he has chipped in with many vital assists he is worth his place in the england squad as he offers something different and he can win and hold up balls other players would not have a hope of getting.
i cant beleive the are putting crouchs goal down as a given og, first of all given was again outstanding and does not deserve an og to his name amazing save from h kewell if cech or buffon pulled that off everyone would be raving about it. second of owen or shearer scored a similar goal their would be no questions of an og just because it was crouch the doubt arises. and third i bet €50 on crouch angel and defoe all to score in 90 mins play so the bookies better pay me when i go back in tomorrow
