So you admit Owen threw himself?

By that logic, then any attempted tackle must be a foul.

nope, he was tripped, so by my logic, tripping someone is a foul.

You should be careful on this line of discussion, it's very well known that Michael Owen has an astounding affinity for the ground, not quite as amazing as Rivaldo though.

Owen goes down faster than a female of low moral character.

Don't Ireland only have to win 2-0 to go through? And England have got to beat Nigeria don't they?

Owens light, he gets thrown around easaly, thats why they pair him with big fat man Heskey, its little and large.

And England have to draw to go through, if they loose they have to score i think 2 goals to beat sweden on goal difference.

Yeah you're right, Ireland needs a two goal victory margin to progress to the final sixteen teams (here's hopin' ).

It is notable that Ireland usually have a one goal victory margin when they win. If we play one quarter as well as germany did (i.e. 2-0) against Saudi Arabia then it'll be great.
