Sorry Jacko....but for me....Terry deserves to stay captain or Gerrard....you'll think im saying that cos im a Liverpool fan...but its my Neutral opinion on the matter

[Mochachino]

that ma iritates me with his top lip. Iagree though i cant see him with leaderships skills tbh imo.

[laura_g]

I say john terry should remain captain too tbh

[Ashes]

oh cheers raz

[Jacko]

terry isnt a bad captain as he likes the whole surrounding the ref etc...gerrard just isnt a leader in those situations....he looks the part at liver..but that because he is surrounded by shit/average players....rio bites the head of anyone in the united team for everymistake...even though he isnt captain....leader material if ever ive seen it.

[Lee_P]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i would prefer stevie G but he doesnt need the band he commands atttention as a player already

[Robb]

why did laura suggest barry or crouch?

i see why shes now edited it.

Captaincy is alot about respect. Which terry probably has more so than rio.

[Clouds_mate]

Must suck to be Steve. MASSIVE hype about him been the new captain. Then droped from postion after one game.

he doesnt have it for captain imo.

Rio is a pretty good call, but id rather it be Terry.

[Ross170889]

Complete joke he doesnt even captain his club team so why should he captain the national team. Stevie G should be captain !!!

coz i realised after what i had said and the terror poor barry would get :oops:

[Karl]

Terry / Rio, not bad choices...if not them, who else? :D

[Raz]

just realised....its only for the France Game....Terry was out of the Switzerland game....if he was in i would have said it to be him on that day...but cos he wasnt available...Capello chose Gerrard.

He might of chosen Rio to see how the game goes...he hasnt decided on his full time captain yet...theres still hope for the Gerrard/Terry fans....

top 3 candidates....

Terry
Gerrard
Rooney???

[Scattle]

Rooneys captained United a few times, dont thinkes hes ready for england just yet,.

[AdamW]

Does this mean Rio will try get his face on the camera more in the game than ever?

[steve_335]

Don't really care who the captain is, as long as they do a good job of being it.

[Jacko]

Complete joke he doesnt even captain his club team so why should he captain the national team. Stevie G should be captain !!!

bias. is sooner it be big bastard terry...

im not an england fan so letting gerrard cock up wouldnt bother me...but from a football point of view rio/terry are thee ONLY candidates.

:clapping: well said Big J


hahaha you have to laugh at terrys pathetic ability to captain England

:clapping: well said Big L

[Emma_ZS]

Rio is the right man for the Job imo :)

[Ryan]

Glad terry is no longer captain, hes a complete arse.
Dont feel rio is the man for the job though (and im a united fan)

[adam]

Going on Capello's record he must know what hes doing.
I dont know what you lot think but if you notice when Beckham is played, the games are much more up tempo on the England side. I think becks should be captain again. But I aint Capello so my opinion won't change anything.

[Saxo-Will]

Stevie G... No, not tough enough
Terry... Not so much anymore, too rowdy
Rio is only real option tbh...

And for the Rooney comment... noooo way
