one thing i can confirm is.... there is certain politic in england squad.
when the star players r playing, they will play badly. but wif this kinda pathetic squad as some of the good players like rooney, beckham and lampard were injured, they tend to play better than before.
i can sense dat owen just prefer heskey to be his partner n no one else. or there r some players who cannot get along well.
When star players play, they tend to rely on their individual ability. you can refer to france in the euro 2004 and of course, understanding is very important too and heskey and owen happens to have that understanding unlike owen and rooney or owen and crouch
