The England captain is supposed to be a role model and a leader, I doubt most of the team or young fans see John Terry as a role model after the affair.

True but it had nothing to do with football and he's a much better captain than Ferdinand.

I guess Rio isn't a role model either after missing drug tests.

Indeed. Preferring an 8 month ban over a drug test is hardly something people would want representing their country in a competition like the World Cup.

Rooney for captain 

I've been saying the same thing actually. The only problem is Rooney is too far up front to captain a team. If he's looking out for his team he's not concentrating on scoring, and if he's determined to score he's not concentrating on his team.

Gerrard or Lampard at the moment are the best candidates for captain I think. Both talented midfielders and natural leaders. And besides that little case where Gerrard punched someone, both of them are pretty clean players and fans of both of their clubs look up to them.

Theo Walcott won't make a good captain now but give him time and he could be a good one.
