In the day's only FA Cup replay, Tottenham forward Jermain Defoe was yet again on the mark for for the Hotspurs late in the second half in the 73rd minute to put the team ahead of Leeds United, 2-1. So far Defoe has scored both of the Tottenham goals in the fourth round of the tournament to bring his season total to 19 in all competitions in what has been a career year.Surely Defoe will partner Manchester United's Wayne Rooney - who has been in fine form himself - up front for England this summer at the World Cup.
Although his striking partner at Tottenham Peter Crouch has recently outperformed Robbie Keane to the point that the White Hart Lane side sold Keane, and Crouch has more experience at the international level than Defoe - England simply does not perform at high enough level with crouch as one of the feature forwards as evidenced by a really lackluster 2006 World Cup.
