Under fire for his affair with a teammate’s wife, John Terry’s role as England captain is in question. Despite all this, three teammates are supporting him.
From Goal.com:
The future of John Terry as England captain is squarely in Fabio Capello hands, but his decision could be made easier with The Evening Standard reporting other players don’t want the armband.
Replacement candidates Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have all reportedly expressed privately they would be uncomfortable assuming the captaincy if Capello decides to sack Terry.
The Chelsea defender has drawn heavy criticism following an alleged affair with a former partner of international team-mate Wayne Bridge, with numerous calls for the player to be stripped of his captaincy
You have to understand, this is a huge deal in the British media. Apparently, the courts have suspended laws that have previously suppressed athletes’ and celebrities’ protection from scandal.
The United States and England are in the same group in the World Cup. By then, England’s team could be in shambles.
