my original point that we have no real out and out striker of world class, like holland have van nistelrooy, spain - torres, sweden - imbrahimovic, Italy toni, germany - klose etc, as my original point mentioned we have know one like this and there is know one who looks like they could be this for england at the next world cup, its a depressing state of affairs, england rarley produce top class attackers now, they are all just nearly men, apary from rooney

oh any how do you know what i think?
I just think football is not so simple. Just because certain countries have strikers who are famous (as strikers), does not mean they are better than a striker who because of lack of service or being played out of position (at club level) does not appear to be prolific. It is only the setup of the teams he plays for which makes this the case, and if anything Manchester United are the supreme example that a team can be the best in the world without a superstar forward! And this leads me to the conclusion that England could have won the world cup in the last couple of decades if they had the services of Fergie and not their greatest club team!!!
