Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning star Mario Kempes believes England's title hopes hinge more on Peter Crouch than Wayne Rooney. Kempes, who was top scorer at the 1978 finals and inspired the South Americans to their first ever World Cup triumph, insists that the beanpole Liverpool striker is an under-rated threat.
"England might do well, and although theyre missing Rooney, they have got Crouch. He can score goals, cant he? Hes a typical goalscorer," said Kempes.
"Hes more of a penalty-box player than Rooney; he can bring down high balls and put them away. Hes got an all-round game."
