Who should take over from Beckham as captain?

[di marco]

i thought id start a thread about this cos people had started talking about it in the world cup thread

so yeh any comments you want to make about beckham resigning, and also who do you think should be the next england captain?

John Terry its pretty obvious, he does such a great job at the Chelsea. He has all the captain attributes and he is at the back so can see everything infront of him.

i think it is going to be john terry, but i would love it to be michael owen

[Jessie Wallace]

I think it should be Steven Gerrard, but i'm sure it'll be Terry. I think Gerrard would be better tho.

It's going to be Terry but I would prefer Gerrard!!

[Meh]

In my opinion, it has to be Gerrard. Terry is good, but he is surrounded by the creme de la creme of world class players which makes his job much easier.

Beckham resigning as captain has come too late. Personally, I would have dropped him for the world cup. I really don't think he ever had the qualities of a captain. England needs to look forward and we can only do that by dropping the dead donkeys.

i think it should be gerrard but then i am biased as i support liverpool!
he is a fantastic captain for liverpool and when he played in the matches for england even though beckham was on the pitch gerrard was rallying them around, encouraging them etc.

John Terry of course, he has been in the game longer than Gerrard! and he always plays brilliantly!!

John Terry or Steven Gerrard, I'd thing they'd both good

[xXxJessxXx]

I think Gerard or I'd love to see it be Owen. lol. But i think it ill be Terry and i think he'll do a great job!

By the way is beckham leaving the england team all together or just giving up the captain role?
