England must forget their obsession with captaincy if they are to go from near-miss merchants to success story

telegraph.co.uk — Media prurience and the dysfunctional tendencies of the England camp itself are a diabolical mix. The national team's base invariably mutates into a laboratory for English society transported to France, Germany or South Africa. Pretty soon the sense takes hold that the football is running alongside a reality TV fiesta in which the eye is drifting ever further from the ball.
