nope. I want to see his ugly face next to the steadily growing mustache of Gary Neville when Liverpool, quite surprisingly, win the PL next season under Sammy Lees unfancied leadership 8)
 
That's probably a relief for Capello, who must have been wondering if he dared drop his own captain due to terrible form. I guess King will partner Terry at CB now?

Good news for Stevie anyway. Hope it inspires him more than the Liverpool captaincy did last season.

I would have thought Carra as king can´t play more than 1 game per week.

could be good news for carra as well
 
Carra's been taken as cover for RB. I think King and Upson are both ahead of him in the pecking order for CB - wrongly in Upson's case, but still...

Englands chances have just increased

So now they can even be favourites to proceed past quarters???

King's crocked and won't be able to handle to fixtures, and I'm sure Carra will be picked ahead of Upson.
 
hopefully Stevie G puts in some game-winning performances and brings the attitude into the new season. Then again with those performances, the vultures wud come a swopping. Rock. Hard place. Sigh.
 
It would be nice if Gerrard could simply play in a central role, preferably one where he has some offensive freedom. England have always compromised Gerrard for Lampard.
 
Rio out of WC2010, Gerrard to Captain England

Rio Ferdinand ruled out of World Cup with knee injury

• England captain suffered injury to knee after tackle in training

• Michael Dawson heading to South Africa to replace defender

England's World Cup preparations in South Africa have suffered a heavy blow with the news that the captain, Rio Ferdinand, has been ruled out of the tournament with knee injury.

The central defender sustained an injury to his left knee in a tackle during the final couple of minutes of England's first training session.

"Rio picked up a knee problem in training," said Fabio Capello. "It happened near the end."

Ferdinand was taken to hospital for a scan and emerged this afternoon on crutches.

The Tottenham defender Michael Dawson is heading to South Africa to replace Ferdinand.

Ferdinand had been optimistic of enjoying an injury-free World Cup after a season dogged by problems at Manchester United.

He was able to feature in barely a third of their Premier League campaign but had trained with no setbacks during England's two-week camp in Austria and also came through the friendly internationals with Mexico and Japan unscathed.

David James also missed training today but Capello is less concerned with that situation and insisted the 39-year-old had "only a slight knee problem".
 
Just been confirmed in the England camp, Rio out of the world cup, due to knee injury sustained in training.

Gerrard to be named captain, Dawson heading out to replace Rio in the squad,
 
Capello should try Dawson/Carra or Upson/Terry as CB partnerships. I really don't know what role King can play considering you can't rely on him to make a plan. Carra/Terry as a partnership will get murdered by most international attacking unit. Too similar and too slow.
 
Great player that he is, I just don't see Stevie as captain material; he just doesn't communicate much on the pitch. He's a special player who should be left to concentrate on his own game and not be bogged down with responsibilities.
 
I'm delighted for Stevie.
I would like to see England win it just for him.
Fuck knows, he ain't going to be winning a Premiership winners medal.

I actually think this could end up being very good for the team. He can lead by example, and in a short tournament that can be highly influential on other players.

I hope he raises his game. I will be glad if England lifted the darned thing. They have the oldest squad in the tournament, and some big players are in the last chance saloon.

It's funny how English supporters deride Italy as an aging team, while England actually has the higher average squad age.
 
Predictably, Talksport's Jason "I love the taste of Brave John Terry's anus" Cunty is having a heart attack trying to convince everyone that the slitty-eyed tramp should be captain.

Spring onion-headed Cunty.
 
I have a feeling that, Captain or not, Gerrard is going to have a storming 'force of nature' World Cup

Hurray!
