And sure the tall and skinny one
with the neat Mr. Roboto celebration
grabs three in the six-nil demolition of
the Reggae boys: knocks ’em for six! But
those were the Jamaicans, a cool run-up
to the World Cup. What of the likes of Brazil
and all the rest, how will Mr. Roboto do????
Will it be Crouch. . . Ouch! Or is Crouch our Man,
a Man among Sven’s Men: has the controversial Swede
picked a forward indeed, an Englishman to lead? We hope!

Notes

“England 6-0 Jamaica: Crouch bags hat-trick”

“[Peter Crouch] looked to have spurned his chance of a hat-trick when the lanky striker hopelessly skied an 82nd minute penalty won by Owen, only to rifle in England’s sixth in the 89th minute after a neat Owen pass. ”
