Crouchie is gonna have to pull his socks up to beat the guy in the orange shirt (surely that's not Mr Robin Van Persie?!).

Hopefully he'll get alot more chances to bring the routine together in Germany.

Crouchie, what a legend.

He can take penalties - remember the Saints v. Pompey FA cup game two seasons back?? I remember Redknapp was quoted after the game feeling pretty nervous that someone had let Peter step up and take it!?!

When are the squad numbers officially decided for the world cup?? I want to go out and get my Crouch England shirt done but I don't want to risk getting no.24 if he's gonna be our new number 9!

Great game last, good step up by Peter. I have to admit I was being very sceptical about him infact he amused me with his basketball body and stuff. But now I must admit that he has progressed and I think he can be a good striker and hopefully he does well for England in Germany! Cheers

Crouch has to play a major part at this world cup! His recent record for england is pretty awesome now, and some of the footwork he was doing was worthy of the name Crouchinho! As for me and my flatmates at warwick uni though, weve named him Pierre Crouche for that touch of mock class. And as for classy goal celebrations, look no further.... !

I'm sorry but i hate Crouch he is a waste of space but....He did take that goal really well but an assist from Theo Walcott on his England debut how's that for a start! Crouch will play some part of the World Cup and so will Theo but i do think that Sven has lost his mind not taking Darren Bent. He is much better than Crouch & Walcott put together!

Oh and a fantastic celebration from Peter! Nice One Crouchy!

some players have boring celebrations (e.g. shearer, gudjohnsen) but crouch is a breath of fresh air. he is having fun no matter how bad people see the celebration. crouch will be effective in the world cup, but rooney & owen still main hopes. i think its disgraceful that walcott makes his england debut before his premier league debut. did look good but thats no excuse

Indeed the orange geek is in fact the now legendary David Elsewhere! Who is actually one of three amazing guys who play the role of Gene Kelly in the Golf advert.

He does the bits with the robotic styles, which are quite clearly his work, i could tell from the first minute i saw the ad. The other bits such as the up-wall backflip are the work work of the other two guys performing the ad.

If your interested their are plenty of David videos knocking about on t'internet. Do a search - hes amazing!

Hey Claire

Nice Dance footage. However, Crouch's dance was more like the 80s robot dance.
The kids in the video were doing more of a modern adaptation to Break Dancing called Pop-Locking. Just thought I should clear up some Hip Hop dance terminology so know one gets misled ridiculed for being out of sorts with Hip Hop Culture.

Crouch has been speaking on the radio today and has said he may do 'the dance' if he scores again (again being the key word here ;)

As people have said already it's great to see a bit of humour from players, the Italians and Brazilians have been doing this for years, heh even the Irish Robbie Keane has his trademark 'cartwheel and shootin the guns'

If he continues to work on those robot moves I have no doubt he will be able to stealth past defences everywhere

We shouldn't be so hard on peter, being a tall guy myself (6' 10") when you're that age it's hard to keep balance (having not stopped growing like he probably has) - when he reaches his 'final height' it will be far easier for him to balance, and thus turn on the spot, run and tackle, and shake off tackles.

I personally couldn't play any football at all from the age of 17 up till I was about 23 (25 now), I'd suggest he's doing very well to have got where he is - plus he's also trying to get used to a new fitness and training regime (note he鈥檚 improving all the time), give it a few years and he'll be world class, easily.

Nicely taken Crouchie. The team obviously like him a lot, you could see the spirit shining through. We're gonna need him cos Owen and Rooney are clearly not fit. But we should take both Defoe and Johnson as well. Far too many average midfielders in the squad, so bye bye Downing and Hargreaves.
