Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he believes Brazil will win next summer’s World Cup in South Africa and not Fabio Capello’s England side.
Wayne Rooney says he would love to wear the captain's armband again after skippering an injury-ravaged England side in Saturday's 1-0 friendly loss to Brazil. Rooney led England out after their usual captain John Terry was ruled unfit due to an ankle injury the day before the match.
England manager Fabio Capello was quick to praise his side’s opponents after they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against World Cup favourites Brazil in a friendly in Qatar. Capello felt his side competed well for 45 minutes but was disappointed with his side’s response to falling behind.
Brazil triumphed over England at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha thanks to a header from Nilmar at the start of the second half.
The most iconic footballer of his generation will be the man to bring the 2018 World Cup to England, according to FA chairman Lord Triesman. With the bid yet to have got above first gear, Triesman will turn to David Beckham in hopes of increasing their chances.
England coach, Fabio Capello has all but confirmed that his young hot-shot, Wayne Rooney will take the captain's armband and lead the Three Lions out in Doha to take on Brazil...
The potential absence of Fabio Capello's first-choice captain, John Terry, as well as the Chelsea leader's deputy Rio Ferdinand, could see Wayne Rooney don the England armband from the opening whistle, according to <i>The Daily Mail</i>.
