Influence over other players

Mental Strength
Courage
Leadership
Alan Shearer has all these qualities, but Owen does not have all these qualities.
A better captain is Rio or Southgate as they offer players leadership and i cannot think why Sven has given the armband to Owen!
Of course, whether he'll have it for the whole match is another question altogether, as didn't Sven say that he wouldn't over use players chasing medals?
Though Paraguay look unlikely to agree to allow Sven 11 substitutions.

But maybe now Owen is captain for now, we might see some of those qualities emerge, as being captain brings extra reponsibilities and could bring out the best in someone like it did with Beckham.

Alan Shearer has also retired from international football, hasn't he?

But i believe that a captain should not be a keeper or a striker. Also he still is quite inexperienced at international level. Captains have to lead the team when heads are down. I can't see Owen doing this.
He maybe popular but does that make him a good captain?
Owen is probably the only player in the team tomorrow that is guarenteed a first team place in the England team. That is a more likely reason why he is captain...
