Michael Owen picks his best England XI | Dream Team
Спорт
On this day back in 1998 Michael Owen scored a superb solo goal against Argentina at the World Cup in France. He played with some great players during his international career, but which of them made it into his England dream team?

Owen is still so underrated. 40 international goals by the time he was 26... Had he not had his injuries, Rooney would still be 20 goals behind him for England.

Aditya 82003 Rooneys fitness? As in not being unfit or injured? The guys last game for England was when he was 33. Owen last played at 26 or 27 and he was only 13 goals behind. He was scoring an average of 6 or 7 goals a year (including important goals in World Cups). So for you to say Rooney’s fitness let him down, after playing all those extra years is strange at best. It was Owen that was ravaged by injuries!!

An almost religious dedication to 4-4-2 is what stopped England from winning any trophies or even making the finals during 1996-2006. Such a shame since they had a lot of talented players I mean just the players Owen left out Terry, Sol, Hargreaves, Lampard, McManaman would have made most international XI's

It's saying something about the strength as individual players that England had in Michael Owen's time (if maybe not getting the success as a team) that the likes of Sol Campbell, John Terry, Michael Carrick and Frank Lampard didn't make it. I did have a few other names to mention too but expect that they would have been scoffed at but don't think too many wouldn't rate those four above.

England always lacked a DMF, except a single great WC 2006 performance by Owen Hargreaves, who was the best player. But Hargo was hammered by injuries. Always a tough choice by Sven Goran cause you wanted to fit in Becks, Scholesy, Gerro and Lamps, and ALL of them liked to have their back covered by a pure DMF like Roy Keane in UTD or Essien for Chelsea. Still, all those midfield players loved to tackle, their work rate was amazing, so in theory they could have played together . But theory is one thing. Chemistry wasnt REALLY there, toxic media and fans always plagued the team, and they could never Truly FIND that winning rhythm, except in a few qualis. Despite all that nonsense, they lost to a GOAT Brasil team, to Portugal twice on pens, to an amazing German team, to Italy on pens, etc etc. This generation was plagued by some bad luck to add to their roster issues... Still, had they played with 5 in the midfield, considering how much goals Gerrard and Lampard have been scoring, that would have been the best option. Get rid of the 4-4-2. Give absolute freedom to Gerrard and others fall in behind, covering each other. 4-3-2-1 Beckham-Scholes-Hargreaves Lampard-Gerrard Rooney Thats a winning team right here. I guess lol
I am sure this squad, would be better with 4-3-3. Putting Rooney up front.

Owen stayed up until 11 o clock thinking about this
That England team which whacked a shell-shocked Germany 5-1 in Munich with Owen scoring a hat trick was the most lethal line-up. Too bad Gerrard was the missing link in the WC finals.
Ferdinand, neville, scholes, beckham, rooney.. He loves united
1. D. Seaman 2. G. Neville 3. A. Cole 4. J. Terry 5. R. Ferdinand 6. P. Ince 7. D. Beckham 8. F. Lampard 9. A. Shearer 10. W. Rooney 11. J. Barnes
Jimmy Greaves best goal scorer ever in GB. Can't pick yourself before him Michael.
Fair enough...I guess Lampard in as Super sub :)
Love Owen!! Manchester United legend!
I'm guessing that Alan Shearer did not have Michael Owen up front with him in his dream team.
I would have been disappointed if Michael had not included himself. Thanks, too, for including David Seaman, one of the best [alongside Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van de Saar] goalkeepers in the FICA world cups. My sole complaint is that Lampard was not included.

People always bang on about Scholes, Stevie and Frank in Midfield. Probably youngsters that don't remember Scholes retired from international football in 04. Stevie and Frank were still developing then. They would peak years later. An in form, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard at the peak of their powers was never available for selection. And yes, managers did try to convince Scholesy to come back, most notably Cappello for 2010 - and he declined.
