It was just announced on BBC news 24 that John Terry is the new captain for the England football team. And this taken from the BBC site:

John Terry has been named as the new captain of the England football team.

The 25-year-old was confirmed on Thursday as the successor to David Beckham, who stepped down as England captain after the World Cup.
Chelsea skipper Terry has won 29 caps since making his debut against Serbia and Montenegro on 3 June 2003.
Terry begins his reign as captain in Steve McClaren's first match in charge of the national team, a friendly against Greece on 16 August.
Beckham stepped down as England captain one day after his team were knocked out of the World Cup quarter-finals by Portugal.
The midfielder had been skipper for six years after being handed the armband by stand-in coach Peter Taylor in 2000.
Central defender Terry was the bookmakers' odds-on favourite to follow Beckham, although many tipped Liverpool's Steven Gerrard to take the role.
A poll commissioned by the BBC Sport website and Radio Five Live had revealed that England fans were divided over who should be the new national captain. Terry gained 51% of the votes, Gerrard polled 46% and Gary Neville got 2%.

I'd of preferred Gerrard as captain, but Vice-Captain ain't that bad i suppose.

Decent decision by McLaren...

I think its always better to have a cental defender as captain and then he can see everything thats happening.

Thats a good decision.
He will do well.

[bingoking]

Well, I think he is a good choice but i think Gerrard would of been just as good of a choice!

Thankgod Beckham is gone, he's not even a good footballer, i suppose he can now focus on his sleeping around and his cr'appy gillette adverts.

I think Terry will be a good captain and hopefully he is.
