After the weekend revelations in to John Terry's private life there has been much debate as to whether the England Captain should fall on his sword and resign his role for the National team. On Saturday night, bookmakers went as short as 8/15 that Terry would line up as skipper for England's first game of the World Cup against the USA on June 12th, but signs are this isn't such a likelihood, with bookmaker Paddy Power going even money on Terry not being captain come the summer.

The Chelsea and England star shrugged off the trial by tabloid on Saturday by scoring the winner in Chelsea's 2-1 win at Burnley, which leaves the Blues one point clear of Manchester United with a game in hand at Hull on Tuesday. However, despite Terry's on pitch form the bookies now make it more likely that Chelsea will win the Premier League (8/13), than John Terry captain the National side at the World Cup in South Africa.
Steven Gerard is as short as 4/7 to be the next player after Terry to start an England match as captain, with Wayne Rooney a 4/1 chance and Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand both 7/1 with PaddyPower. Should Capello call on more experience, David Beckham is next best in the betting with the Irish firm at 10/1.
Wayne Bridge has yet to comment on the current situation although some Manchester City team-mates were keen to show their support for the left back after Sunday's win over Portsmouth that saw them move to one point behind Spurs in fourth place. Perennial understudy to Ashley Cole for the left back berth for England, Bridge is quoted as 4/9 to make it to South Africa as part of the England Squad.
