there are 11 positions on the field so to say that more non goalkeepers are captains then goalkeepers is absolutely retarded.

a basic comprehension of statistics will tell you that that is perfectly plausible and IN FACT absolutely probable.

Keepers are always yelling anyway and can be out of the game for long stretches of time. Not exactly what I want in a captain.

He's trying to say that they are already always telling (usually yelling) their defenders what to do whenever they are back close enough to actually communicate with each other.

That's another thing, they are removed from the rest of the team for large periods of time.

Dempsey plays on the left and Gatt plays on the right...

If you are referring to the article I posted, they had a picture of the starting 11 with Deuce on the left and Gatt on the right of a midfield 3. I couldn't copy/paste the picture so it didn't come across the way it was in the article. Same goes for FJ on the left and Dolo on the right.

They had him on reserves.

Lloris is the captain of France and I thought he was the captain at OL. He could definitely take over that role in the future for Tottenham.

Not saying it doesnt happen, it does. I'm just not a fan of it at all.

I think Jumbeaux was responding to the comment about Donovan starting over Gatt.

I addressed two earlier comments in one post.

The first one was about Landy not retiring and the second was about the lack of captain keepers.
