How on earth did Thuram deserve to be vice captain? Zambrotta was the next in line, Nedved was clearly more deserving for how he always gives 100% and is the voice of reason, and even Buffon is a more vocal player than Lilian. But instead of giving it to those players Capello decided to stomp his foot and give it to Thuram... what an absolute joke.
this is where i disagree with you, i think thuram is a very vocal player and more importantly a level headed guy.
Thats the reason why i would dismiss neddy from being captain, he is not the most level headed guy and i think the captain should always have that attribute.
i would've given zambro the armband but he was injured a lot last season and thats why i think cap gave thuram the armband....The team needs a consistant captain(in regards to playing time)
And abt gigi , am not too keen on giving the captaincy to goalkeepers as they r not in the thick of the action that much.
So for me it should've been zambro but considering the circumstances thuram got it and he did a good job so he kept it.
