BBC Sport - Football - Gareth Barry to lead England against Ghana at Wembley

Erm...come again?

There are two things I have to say about this;

1. How is this man still playing for England? He simply hasn't got the pace or the ability in any sense to play the international game. I was hoping that became obvious after the Germany game. I don't know what Capello hopes to prove by fielding him as captain against a vibrant, young and pacy Ghanaian side.

2. Why not Scott Parker? He's proven himself not only as a good, inspirational captain at West Ham, but he was easily one of the best performers against Wales the other day. Hell, even Joe Hart or Phil Jagielka would make a better England captain for the day.

I hope Fabio knows what he's doing, otherwise this could easily end up as our first loss to an African side.
