Apparently they are to have a new captain after Thursday. His name is Bill Smith and he flies Jumbo jets back to the UK.

I'd like to think that they won't be paid for the pathetic effort they put in, and that they'll now spend the rest of the world cup duration learning to work as a team... But I won't hold my breath!
