CASTELLO YOU WONT GO SO FAHR

castello change your glasses GERRARD is true leader and good example there is no one near him he can tell the playres how too score take penalties and free kiks how about j.t . what can he do be arrogant with his vice captain whi is going too wach castello i gees is too olld need some reparation

I think capello's decision to make john terry captain is a major step to getting england back to where they should be, one of the best teams in world football, he has a huge passion for the game and my belief is he is the best centre back in england, and will bring the best out of the other players.

Terry is about as much a leader as was Adam Applegarth (Ex Northern Rock)

john terry aka spitz the dog millions seen him do it what is wrong with capello

Message to "Woody" go back to what ever it is you do to make a living and leave this site to people who can look at the bigger picture instead of the inside of their own rectum!

It was only an incredible unrepeatable fluke that made Liverpool come back from 0-3 against Milan, certainly not Carragher, Liverpool scored 3 goals in 6 minutes and then defended until the end of 120 minutes. Flukes like that only happen once every 100 years of football.

i think Woody is a liverpool supporter... atleast thats the only way his mad ramblings could make any sense.

Terry was the right man for the job, but no one ever agrees on squad choice.

In my opinion, Beckham shouldn't be anywhere near the england team any more playing for a bad team in a 3rd rate league... I'd sooner watch conference football than an american team.

This is a testimony that chelski is best club in our planet

Rio shouldn't even be playing. The selectors should have played Carragher, he wouldn't have retired from International football and he is the BEST CENTRE BACK EVER, or at least right now he is. Gerrard should be captain, with Carra, Terry or even Becks as vice captain. After all, if you can lead a team to a 3-0 to 3-3 comeback, doesn't that prove you have leadership skills? Anyway, Gerrard plays better when he has the responsibility of being captain. He is the complete player, and wouldn't you want to add to that?And Mr. Capello, we want fast, free - flowing football, not 4-5-1s. 4-4-2m, or even 4-3-3.

It is strange how so much fuss is made on the ENGLAND captain; in Italy, for example, the captain is simply the most capped 'permanent' first-team player. That's it, irrespective of whether he is captain of his club, a leader, inspirational, and all that @#$%. Bottom line - it's not so bloody important as whoever puts on the band becomes a leader. Having said that I expected Capello to instill the same procedure in England - captaincy strictly in order of the no. of caps: 1. Ferdinand, 2. Gerrard, 3. Lampard, 4. Terry. If one also counts players who dont't always start, before Terry there are both the Coles, and of course Beckham.

By going on the number of caps this would have removed all the huu-haa from this pointles matter.

What really counts is whether the 11 players on the field are up to the task!

Who cares if John Terry is captain. The issue is can he and the manager deliver. This time if England do not qualify will the captain be sacked with the manager.

love gerrard forever..........muah!!!!!!!!!!
prove that you deserve to be your country's captian on coming games...
dont dissappoint me baby..........

Well, well, what can be deduced from this decision? For sure, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea fans will argue their individual points of view; fair enough; as a selfish Man U fan i am in a way not too concerned that Rio did not get the call, simply because i want him to concentrate on more trophies this season for Utd and not to get caught up in all the politics and PR work that has become the focal point of being an England captain. What concerns me more is the signal that is being sent out; that being the time taken by Capello to choose a captain! This would never have happened in the days of Bobby Moore, Brian Robson and David Beckham. If Capello is having such difficulties in choosing a captain, how on earth is he going to be able to make the really big calls when it comes to the starting 11 or more to the point, who he will leave out from the starting 11.

Guys, your worst than the england team, you think only of your club. whats the bet that the people who have sided with terry were chelsea fans, the ones who sided with rio ferdinand were man u fans, etc...

this is about our country and frankly, so long as we dont have a bad captain we're fine. Ther're both good captains. capello took terry 'cause he had more experience as a captain and is captain of his club.

There is only one person who can lift a team when they are loosing and it is NOT John Terry. Mr Cappello I think you have made your first mistake since taking over as England manager. Steven Gerrard should have been made captain as he can lift a team and is inspirational by leading his club by example. In all my years of leadership training this is how we are taught how to manage people. Beckham did it but was unlucky not to get the results so why choose his successor who led the team to the disasterous European qualifiers?

I can't believe the time you all have to discuss who should have been the captain. Capello had "MANY" choices (Terry, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Barry, Rooney, and even Lampard. Anyone of these would have been a good choice. What England is lacking is not a Captain but a "Killer Instinct". Come on England, don't settle for a 1-0, or 2-0 against Slovenia, I want to see a 5-0 score.

This is not about about Man-Ure, Liverpuke or Chelski. Gerrard is a good player but not necessarily a good leader. Ferdinand is a good player and leader, but he is not even the club captain of Man-Ure. Terry is great player and a great leader, Capello made the right decision. End Of Discussion, Move-On
