Beckham Steps down as England Captain

[Eckuii]

David Beckham has stepped down as England captain, it was on sky sports just a minute ago, he says that he had come to the decission before the world cup started and that himself and his family both agree that he should step down.

Who do you think should be the next England Captain?


I think John Terry.

I think Terry too, he is a great captain for Chelsea.
But then again maybe Neville; kind of like the senior figure for the team...


Oh and your avatar is pretty damn good x]

;o I was gunna post about this, i saw it live on Sky Sports News (in a News Conference) atleast he still wants to play for England..

I also think John Terry should be new Captain.

[--ss--]

either john terry as everytime beck comes off he gives terry the captains Arm band or maybe even gerrad

Terry or Gerrard

I wouldnt pick Gerrard, he never seems to perform for England as he does for Liverpool.

Here is what Beckham said:

Having been captain for 58 of my 95 caps I feel the time is right to pass on the armband as we enter a new era under Steve McLaren. I want to stress that I wish to continue playing for England. I came to this decision some time ago but hoped to announce it on the back of a successful World Cup."

He doesn't perform for England like he does for Liverpool because he is always playing in an unbalanced midfield picked by a clueless manager.

Terry or Gerrard for me, I'd probably go with Gerrad. He can take games by the scruff of the kneck and rally the players. Istanbul for example.

terry or gerrard, they are the two natural captains in the side, i dont think anyone else fits the bill
