Capello will pick him as he gives them something different and can create something from the bench. That being said I doubt England will win the World Cup as they don't have a winning mentality in major tournaments and lack a decent goalkeeper.

This is a list of the opposing teams he's scored against: Uruguay Hungary Jamaica (3 goals) Trinidad & Tobago Greece (2) Andorra (3) Macedonia Estonia Austria Croatia Ukraine Belarus (2) Egypt (2) Now I know the old cliche of you can only play against whats in front of you but many of these teams regularly take hidings and concede many goals in Internationals. 10 of these games were also friendlies. The England forward line is weak at the moment. Only Rooney can be considered world class. Even David Nugent got a run out a couple of years ago! There are of course worse players vying for the England WC squad and good luck to Crouch. He's going to need all the luck in the world if England progress and have to face the likes of Spain ,Brazil, Germany, Italy..
