If Walcott starts to shine and scores a few to get us to the latter stages, will it be fair to drop him?
Tonight's results:
Australia 3:1 Liechtenstein
France 3:1 China PR
Spain 2:1 Croatia
Good result for Spain. It's a bold move to play a decent team last game before the tournament - most of the bigger nations take on a weaker side to get a nice win.
France got two very late goals (and Zindane slipped taking a penalty). I watched the game on TV - France were very good at times, but nowhere near often enough. Ribery and Trezuget both came on as subs, and both looked good.
Cisse looks to be out of the World Cup with a broken leg about ten minutes in.
