Every Liverpool fan wish Owen can be a regular first team member in the France 98. But Hoddle seems that he will only pick him as a super subsitution (So did Evans think in the start of the 97-98 season). We don't have to be worried about Owen's scoring ability because he's proved us what he could do in the past 10 months.  Please enjoy                  the section of the information and the pictures                        of Owen and let's hope  that                           he will be a secret weapon in the World Cup.
