Allardyce refuses confirm rooney england captain
It seems like there's been a bit of a controversy in the world of English football!
According to reports, Sam Allardyce, the former England manager, has refused to confirm Wayne Rooney as the captain of the England national team. This comes after Rooney was appointed as the captain by Allardyce's predecessor, Roy Hodgson, in 2015.
Allardyce's reluctance to confirm Rooney as captain is reportedly due to concerns over the player's form and fitness, as well as the fact that he has not been a regular starter for his club, Everton, in recent times.
Rooney has been a stalwart of the England team for many years, earning 119 caps and scoring 53 goals. However, his form has declined in recent seasons, and he has been criticized for his performances on the pitch.
It's worth noting that Allardyce has not completely ruled out Rooney as captain, but rather has expressed his concerns and will likely make a decision on the captaincy once he has had a chance to assess the player's form and fitness.
What do you think about this controversy? Should Rooney still be considered as captain of the England team, or should someone else take on the role?
