Emile Heskey

[Mendoza]

This is an area I hope will improve through the tournament. I hear that Beckham has been giving Lennon and Walcott ball-crossing masterclasses.

but Beckham is not involved in coaching according to Capello

Compare Rooney's record with Heskey and his record without Heskey and you get the answer as to why he is going.

I find it staggering that people still don't get this, it's not as if you need to do anything more difficult than watch an England game to see why Heskey gets in the team.

Without a target man England struggle to spend more than two minutes at a time in their opposition's half.
