I think Lampard has had enough chances and f***ed up almost every time in an England shirt. He only performs against lower level nations, so he isn't international class IMO.

Hope Owen can get some speed and sharpness back because Rooney and Crouch isn't good enough, maybe Rooney and Owen would work better.

Just my but I guess I won't be picking the team any time soon....
