Give the arm band to Rooney

Rio probably sets a better example than rooney plus he is experienced. Rooney has struggled many time in the past to control his temper. Flare is a good thing sometimes but i fear rooney will be even more enthusiastic and pationate leading him to be more aggressive.
Rio is very social and popular amongst the players (not that rooney isnt). I think he will be able to set an example on the pitch but lets hope that he doesnt throw too many parties where 100+ slags are invited not including the the WAGS.
if you dont want to keep terry as captain then you are left with owen, gerrard or lampard. Owen is too injured. Lampard is gay (he said he thinks cuducini is good looking). Gerrard might have a good chance but i dont really know if he lives up to the hype surrounding him.
I admit rooney might be a smart choice for the long run but i dont think he will be able to keep his cool and more importantly lead more experienced players.
im passing judgment here and most of what i just said is opinionated but i honestly think of the current crop of players, rio will make the best replacement as captain. Rooney is not quite ripe to be national team captain yet, IMO.
