John Terry has been having all sorts of personal drama, leaving him an easy target for the tabloids.  It shouldn’t come as a big surprise that coach Fabio Capello has stripped him of the England captaincy and has replaced him with Rio Ferdinand.

The drama is mostly surrounding Terry’s alleged affair with England teammate Wayne Bridge’s former girlfriend. 

"After much thought, I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry," Capello said in a statement. "As a captain with the team, John Terry has displayed extremely positive behaviour.  However, I have to take into account other considerations and what is best for all of the England squad. What is best for all of the England team has inspired my choice."

In a show of solidarity in the months leading up to the World Cup, Terry said: "I fully respect Fabio Capello’s decision.  I will continue to give everything for England." 

It’s the right thing to do, really.  With the World Cup coming up, the team doesn’t need this distraction.  I’m glad that Terry was mature about the situation since that shows that he puts the needs of the team ahead of his own.
