Crouch Stands Tall:



Peter Crouch has rediscovered his goalscoring touch. He scored two in Liverpool’s 3-0 FIFA Club World Championship Semi-Final win over Deportivo Saprissa to add to the one he scored against Wigan at the weekend.

Later the same day, the Premier League’s Dubious Goals Panel awarded him a second goal against Wigan, previously credited as an own goal by Wigan keeper Mike Pollitt (who will be relieved).

Depending on how you calculate such things the £7 million striker had gone either 22 games, 7 long months or (my favourite) 24 hours of solid football without scoring. The much maligned 6'7" forward has actually been playing quite well, but doubts were expressed about a goal-shy forward wearing an England shirt.

So lets lay off the big man for a while now. England will take at least one 'target man' to Germany, and we can all agree that we don't want it to be Emile Heskey or James Beattie.
