It'll be the other way around, the way it was, with Owen standing on the shoulder of the last defender, and Rooney doing the hard work.
We're not going to get anywhere by changing what they do best, and they both need fitness, both match and in general - the best way of getting fit is to play. Rooney will be brought off though, no doubt. Owen could do with the full 90mins if at all possible - he's only had 40 minutes of action in the past 6 months prior to the 2 friendlies before the finals (both of which he lasted ~60mins)... I think this time Sven is aiming for him to do the distance.
