Lampard named England vice-captain in Brazil

Frank Lampard will be England's vice-captain at next month's World Cup in Brazil, manager Roy Hodgson said on Sunday. The 35-year-old Chelsea midfielder, who has played 103 times for his country and skippered the team six times, was chosen as Steven Gerrard's deputy ahead of striker Wayne Rooney. "Frank's been the vice-captain all along in Steven's absences, which I think has been twice," Hodgson told the FA website.
