Captain of England Football Squad up in the Air - 02-15-10

February 15 - While the English Premier League took a break this weekend, English newspapers went 'football crazy' with speculation surrounding the replacement of former England captain, John Terry, who was axed from the position after details of his sleazy affair with a friend's former girlfriend emerged.

Photos of Terry frolicking with his wife and children on a multi-million pound yacht off the coast of Dubai this weekend did little to hide the fact that recklessness in his personal life may have caused irreparable damage to the morale of the England National football squad just months before the World Cup kicks off.

The last time England won the prestigious World Cup was back in 1966 and after England received a highly favourable draw going into this year's competition, hope has been high that this could be the year that England wins the mighty tournament again. Or so fans thought, until Terry's dirty laundry became public.

While it's no secret that what professional footballers lack in brains they make up for in skill, earnings and women, this fact was driven home with the news a few weeks ago that Terry cheated on his wife with Vanessa Perroncel, the ex-girlfriend of Wayne Bridge, his former Chelsea and current England teammate.

After the bombshell was dropped, there was much speculation as to whether Terry would be allowed to remain captain of the England National football squad. The answer came on February 5, when England manager, Fabio Capello, announced that Terry had been dropped as captain in favour of Rio Ferdinand.

However, like an episode of the annoying television show Desperate Housewives, a new and unexpected twist has arisen in the form of speculation that Ferdinand may be a letch himself. Israeli model Tslil Sela is reportedly looking to sell the details of a sordid affair she had with the Manchester United centre back.

The sultry 22-year-old model is reportedly looking to peddle the full x-rated version of events that took place in June last year in Tel Aviv during Ferdinand's highly publicized stag week that took place not long before he was due to marry Rebecca Ellison, his long-time girlfriend and mother of his two-year-old son.

Watch this space folks. If the clean cut Tiger Woods can be caught red-handed playing secret holes on secret courses, who's to say that Ferdinand has not been playing more away games than home games? Whether this latest scandal will put paid to Ferdinand's chances of captaining England remains to be seen.
