Disgraceful. Even more cements the fact that Ingurlahnd are a joke and managed by a bunch of clowns.

^ They don't have any other leader on the field. And besides, the allegations are just that - allegations. Did you know that the newspapers which published those stories are now being sued? And that they had to print an apology for running this false story?

So why was he stripped off the captaincy in the first place. Surely this is hypocrisy, stripping him off captaincy with the media witchfest, while bringing him back when it's "cooled down".
They should have either dismissed it as "allegations"/personal life in the first place and retained him as captain, or stood to their stand, and kept him away from captaincy and giving captaincy to some some lad if possible.
This just sums up the joke English FA, and why English National side is a laughing stock all over the world.

Capello only tried to save his own ass at that time. Keeping Terry as captain when the British media were baying for his blood would have made the wolves turn on him. He took the easy way out and dispensed with Terry.
After seeing how woeful the replacement captains were and how the armband was being passed around, he has probably decided that it's going to be his final tournament anyway, so why bother to deal with all this bullsh!t? Just give the armband to the leader and let the media say what they want.

The fact that the manager in England is scared to save his own ass from the media, and not actually doing exactly what he thinks exactly what's good for his team sums up his and his boards ineptitude.

And what has diving got to do with captaincy?

You'd cry too if you missed the deciding penalty in a tournament that your club (where you've come up through the youth ranks and are now the captain) has never won before. Imagine the pressure.
It's all about emotions, lad.
Deciding penalty? The game wasn't over yet AFAIK, Anelka's penalty was the deciding one. He looked absolutely devastated even when it wasn't the final penalty. A good captain would have picked himself and encouraged his team, rather than behaving like it's all over.

Terry's penalty was the last of the five and it was the decider. Cech had saved Ronaldo's penalty.
As a matter of fact, if Drogba had not been sent off, Terry would have never taken that penalty.

^ Well it wasn't like Terry missing, game over. It was like if Terry scored game won. When he missed it was going to Sudden Death wasn't it? Reacting like he did was not exactly inspirational for other players in the squad, and not exactly how a captain should react.
Anyway who cares about England and their captains. They all can fvck off and not qualify for major tournaments if possible to keep our players injury free.
