England coach Fabio Capello is set to pass judgment on John Terry's captaincy later today.
Capello returned to England on Thursday amid a media scrum at the Heaththrow airport refusing to give any comments about Terry's future as England captain.
The pair is set for talks later today to decide whether Terry should stay on as the leader of the England team.
Terry had gotten himself in trouble after his alleged extramarital affair with fellow England teammate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend became public. The shocking revelations have been making headlines not just in England but across the world as well.
Just what is it about footballers' lives outside the pitch that fascinates the public? You could say that the rise of tabloid reporting that puts more scrutiny on their private lives. The amount of money surrounding professional game also played some part in elevating these professional footballers into celebrity status.
In the case of John Terry and professional footballers, they are highly regarded as role models to aspiring kids around the world. And in this case more so if you are captain of an international team.
It's more than just flipping a coin and be done with it. You are the leader who leads by example on and off the pitch. You are the one who rallies the troops when the chips are down. Perhaps that is why there is such a furore surrounding this scandal surrounding Terry and the whole media circus following it. At least Terry has something in common with a certain golfer.
