England Is Ready, As Well As Crouch

3 June 2006 England 6-0 Jamaica - International Friendly

BBC - Frank Lampard swept England into an early lead, which was doubled by Jermaine Taylor's own goal. Crouch scored England's third from a set-piece, before Michael Owen rounded keeper Donovan Ricketts to make it 4-0. After tapping in the fifth from Jamie Carragher's cross, Crouch blazed a late penalty over the bar but completed his hat-trick from Owen's pass.

Eriksson to use Crouch in opener
Sven:"Peter Crouch had a fantastic game. He won almost everything in the air and scored goals. I think he will start next Saturday. I think he deserves it."
"The only thing I would criticise him about a little bit is how he took the penalty. It was a golden opportunity but he joked about it and was sorry afterwards."
