  spot-on, lah. that middlebrough's-underachiever-turn-ingerland-mgr may hv alredi told him prior. the politically correct wayang shld be buckham announced he dun want to be skipper alredi. even angmoh nowadays know how to save face.
  
  often times, what we read is never the actuality.
  
  so, i think stevie g or john terry-aki will now stand a chance. i think the former is inspirational, the latter no backbone.

  England will regret condemning Beckham so much once he quits international football. England went this far in this world cup is all because of him. Give him some credit.

  credit muz b given to beckham for his goals and assists in most of england goals from free-kicks or crosses...but lennon really give england the penetrating plays with his dribbles which beckham lacks in this department...
  
  this england team got the talents...juz dat they need to get their tactics right...hopefully mcclaren can...
  
  gerrard def makes a better team captain than terry...at least he turns in creditable performances when playing for england...terry have not been imposing enough for england than for chelsea...thus gerrard definitely can inspire his players more

  Beckham want to save face after all.
  
  Though I want Stevie G to take the captain armband, I know Terry is going to claim it....

  Good move by Becks. At least save him some face. He has done some good work as El Capitano before so let's bring on Gerrard as skipper instead.

  England needs somebody influential from the frontline , somebody that lead by example by scoring ...... anyone fits that bill ?
  
  I don't like the idea of Stevie Gerrard now , cos it might be a distraction from the club's perspective .

  He old liao la.. maybe By Euro 2008 will not even be in the team..maybe his rightback position Taken over by jamie Carragher. what they want is a longer term Captain. Like Steve G or Terry.

  At Fcuking last!!!
  
  It's about time England need a good role-model! Terry or Gerrard will fit the role!
  
  n they better not give to someone like gay neville who cant ever stay in his own position.
