The guy, Owen, was not good at first game and he couldn't also show good performance today. But careful looking, he took good positions in critical moments if mid-fielder could pass to him, he got some goals. If England's mid-fielders can give passes to Owen who is in critical position, they can be the favorite as same as Brazil. The time Owen restore is the time England will be the favorite.
Another player who was expected to come back was Rooney came back to the pitch but he was not good, too. Both Owen and Rooney recover their own conditions, no one can predict how strong England will be.
