England 2-1 Slovenia. Now On to the Real Thing…

Nothing too exciting about this 2-1 friendly win over Slovenia at Wembley.

Did Wayne Rooney dive to win the penalty for the first goal? He sort of just fell, and the ref gave him a penalty anyway. Let’s just say it was generous.

Jermain Defoe came off the bench and scored. Again. So should Defoe or Heskey start against Croatia? My take is that little Defoe is clearly more deadly in front of goal, but big Emile Heskey works better in Capello’s system. So if the name of the game is getting the most out of Wayne Rooney, then Heskey has to start everytime.
