But If ya show me at the time, you have a bet son.
Infact il go one better, if england win the world cup il write in my sig(If ya show me how) Im a pathetic scotsman and have wished all my life that i was a true englishman.
England also had a great chance of winning Euro 2004 with some of the best players in the world, like Lampard, Gerrard, Terry and Ashley Cole.Did they win it?no.Dont be getting yer hopes up again.England are gonna FAIL
My source for the thing about O'Neill was Ray Houghton mentioned it on Irish TV the other day while they were discussing the McLaren appoinment.I think the other English pundit(Trevor something-Former England player) said it as well.

Compare the England squad then to the England squad now:
Paul Robinson is a better keeper than David James.
Rio Ferdinand is a better defender than Sol Campbell
Steven Gerrard is better now that he was then, especially since he'll play in the middle rather than out on the left
Frank Lampard is better now than he was then
Joe Cole is better than he was then (not that he played) and is a much better left winger than Gerrard or Scholes
I'd probably pick Peter Crouch and Theo Walcott over Emile Heskey and Darius Vassell.
The team is stronger overall, which means they should do better without Rooney than the 2004 side did.

Michael Owen isn't a bad striker. What he does, he does well. He's quick, he's got great positional sense, very good finishing and can take it round players. Unfortunately, we don't now have anyone to play alongside him. Hopefully if Joe Cole or Stevie Gerrard gets pushed up to play alongside him they can try to fill the Rooney role.
Please leave. Or at least give us some evidence.
He top scored for England at Euro 2004, in the season after he had the best goals per minute ratio in La Liga and this season has 7 goals in 10 starts, despite being out injured for the majority of the season. The only level he hasn't scored at in the past season is Champs League, which is difficult if he isn't playing.
Oh yeah, Stefan, i don't need to wait for the result, quoted!
Owen scored 7 times this year...wow 
And yeah it took him only 12 matches....because he was injured rest of the time.
In portugal in 2004 he scored.....1 time. Amazing striker.
He did just a little better in 2002, when he scored 2 times. Only one can be considered important though, the one against Brazil.
Believe what you want to believe but i don't think he is gonna do it for England. And no, I don't need any results 4 that.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I'll leave you with the phrase, "form is temporary, class is permanent".
