Bar Rafaeli ;)

Mascherano is world class. Have you watched him play mate? Im a Man United fan and even I can admit that he would make our starting XI. Torres, Gerrard and Carragher may get all the praise but Mascherano is just as important.

As if Liverpool are going to win the premiership next year! LOL. It will be one of Man United or Chelsea just like every other year in recent times...unless Benitez dramatically strengthens the depth of Liverpool's squad.

There's a pretty good chance of England self-destructing with or without Rooney as captain... Sure, England have some world class players but the team is over-hyped by the English media. Realistically, they shouldn't be expected to win the world cup. The Spanish, for example, have a much better...

...And I am saying that there are just as many reasons in favour of him being very suitable for such a role. Anyway, until that time comes I believe the captain should be Steven Gerrard.

As a Manchester United fan who has not gone into hiding...watching that defeat really did cut deep. But when you look at the facts...Man United are still 4 points clear with a game in hand to Portsmouth. We will be premiers again this year and we will equal the amount of premierships won by...

I completely agree. Of course Union is more of a world game than League. Argument finished/.

I disagree. He will definitely also captain Man United. Whether Rooney will be wrong for the England captaincy job is yet to be determined. You can't simply dismiss him based on the performance of past captains. We will have to wait and see.

I know that great players do not necessarily make the best captains. I was just talking about Rooney's quality in response to all those people saying that he is 'overrated' and that he goes through "patches" of good and bad form all the time. Whilst I will agree to some extent that Rooney...

Regardless of what all you guys think...Rooney will be a future England and Manchester United captain and both teams will greatly benefit from his leadership. Also, even though the press may hype up Wayne Rooney a tad...he is still England's best young talent and if you watch Manchester United...

Yeah, Rooney. Sure he hasn't exactly been an angel in the past but he is a much more mature footballer now. He is young, extremely talented and the passion with which he plays the game is obvious. I think he would be a great motivational leader.

Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and pretty much the entire Melbourne team. Greg Inglis is clearly one of the best players in the world though.

For England captain I would pick Steven Gerrard. Both Rio and Rooney would also make better captains than John Terry.
