SITTING IT OUT ... Wayne Rooney
LOUIS SAHA is convinced England will lose tomorrow because they will not have Wayne Rooney.
The out-of-contract Spurs hitman believes the absence of his former Manchester United team-mate through suspension will prove very costly.
And he backed Real Madrid goal-machine Karim Benzema to score two goals past Joe Hart in the Euro 2012 crunch.
Saha said: “We can take heart from the absence of Rooney. Frankly this gives us more of a chance. Wayne is a huge talent.
“It does us a lot of good to know he won’t be there against France.
“I think it will be a beautiful victory for Les Bleus. I see a double from Benzema or, at least, I’m hoping for that.”
