Germany clash can wait - Owen
Michael Owen has admitted he would prefer to meet Germany in the World Cup final as Wayne Rooney prepares for his first start since breaking his metatarsal seven weeks ago.
Sven-Goran Eriksson has confirmed Rooney will start Tuesday's crucial clash with Sweden in Cologne which will decide who finishes top of the group. A meeting with either Germany or surprise team Ecuador awaits in the last 16 but Owen would be content if a meeting with their old foes was put on ice until the final in Berlin on July 9.
Owen said: "Would you expect Germany to be worried by England? I would hope so. But who knows who we will play in the next round? It's a great tournament and a lot of the top teams look like they're going to progress. Germany are obviously a top team. I'd prefer to play Germany in the final."
