Captains haven't had much luck at this World Cup so far, and they haven't even played a game yet.
Ferdinand, Drogba and Ballack. Not to mention other top players like Piro and now I hear Robben has gone to hospital for a scan.
Regarding Lampard, it's good choice for vice Captain, always thought he should have been made Captain after Terry was stripped of it. But if Gerrard goes down against Algeria than surely the next captain would go down against Slovenia.
