Link to the Show / Show NotesPunters are beginning to speculate whether Rio Ferdinand will be the England captain when The Three Lions line up against the USA for the first game
in this summer's World Cup in South Africa.The Manchester United's silence since assuming the captain's armband has fans wondering whether
he knows the appointment is just an interim measure. The back problems that have plagued Rio's season so
far could also play a part in the bettor's thinking.Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: "It’s a strange one –
Capello doesn’t seem the kind of man to change his mind once a decision is made but Rio’s silence since assuming the greatest honour in
the game and John Terry managing to somehow save his marriage has seemingly got football fans asking the question."The Bookmaker still
offers odds of 1/4 that Rio wears the armband whilst the next in line Steven Gerrard is 11/2 and England's talisman Wayne Rooney at betting odds of
15/2. Former skipper John Terry of Chelsea is 10/1.Latest Betting Odds - England World Cup Captain1/4 Rio Ferdinand, 11/2 Steven
