England could defeat France but only if we get rid of that young Evertonian thug Rooney and replace him with Alan Smith - ok,I'll admit to being a LUFC fan but then someone has to be......(and that's despite Smithy's traitorous move to MUFC!) Smith has had his moments in the past but has learned to control his temper and would make an excellent partner to Owen up front. Rooney plays like he couldn't give a damn whether he gets red-carded or not. I'd even select Heskey over Rooney - he may not score many goals but he doesn't half worry defenders (sometimes even his own!)
