He can hold onto the ball better than Defoe, and he's got power as well as pace. He's also a very experienced penalty taker.
I thought he had a solid game against the USA and, had he have been partnered with Owen and not Smith, he'd have probably got one or two assists.
I'd feel more comfortable with him as a substitute than Smith, Crouch and Heskey. I'm a bit unsure about Defoe at the moment.

No doubts Defoe is good, but I can't believe Owen scores a hat-trick against a half-decent South American side (not exactly San Marino, are they) and people still put him down.
His scoring record for England argues itself.

Problem is good goal scoreres fall into two categories, the ones who score the important goals and the ones who don't. Owen only seems to score goals when it doesn't matter, i.e. in friendlies and when matches are already won.

Owens scored many important goals for Real Madrid this season.

Brazil last World Cup.
Portugal last Euro's.
Other tournament's before that.
Do you expect him to score winning goals in every single match?
