Capello, though, has created a conundrum by refusing to play Owen since the 1-0 loss to France in Paris in March 2008. Attention to the subject adds unnecessary pressure when it should not exist. Any decision from the Italian to select the United man would now be viewed as a massive U-turn, a character trait which does not appear to be in his make-up, and would possibly be a headache he does not want to create.
However, England need Owen. Otherwise, watch out Spain, Brazil, Holland, Italy and Germany - here come Crouch, Cole and Bent.
I would say that Cole and Bent should not, and will not, travel to South Africa. Heskey appears a shoo-in, with Capello correctly balancing the unsung job he does for the team against a lack of goals and games. England therefore have a target man and in my opinion that would mean there is no need for Crouch, who cannot always get in Tottenham's side and his solid international record - 18 goals in 35 caps - only comes into play against the world's lesser teams. That would make room for Owen alongside Defoe, Heskey and Rooney.
