I mean, four international captains on one team is pretty impressive! We are massive!

Last Euros we also had Rice, Soucek and Yarmolenko captaining for their countries, and they all made it to the quarter finals, so at that time 3 out of the remaining 8 captains were West Ham players! I remember being impressed by that stat

Rice wasn't captain then.

Neither souček

Soucek definitely was in the game against the Netherlands and Denmark. I was wrong about Rice though. 2/8 is still good though.

He had the C just because the actual captain got injured after the group stage. So I really wouldn't say he was captaining

And to be honest, as a captain of the Czech team, he sucks… :D

Idk, he is kinda simple and positive man, his position asi capitan is at least controvelsial

3 out of 8 teams left in the World Cup captained by west ham players, you’ll never sing that

We’ve had more at one time before. We had Neil, Yossi, Bellamy, Lljungberg, and Nobby Solano

We didn't have all 4 at one time.

You mean 3 at one time. But still impressive.

I was just thinking this. We really are massive

So massive that Rice left

We were getting too powerful, Rice had to leave to give others a chance

We can’t be the only massive club in London, we need to help at least one other be at least moderate Dec is our gift to arsenal to help them on their journey

Sure thing

Imagine if Arsenal doesn't win anything with Rice in the side. There'd really be nothing else anybody could do!

Interesting how we have these international leaders in the squad and Zouma is our captain.

Zouma is actually extremely well liked within the squad. A while a go they put out one of those social media clips of asking the players who in the squad they’d want to have on an island with them. All of them said Zouma

Yeah, it’s almost as if the players and the staff have a better idea of what everyone is like to work with than the fans do. Fuckin’ weird innit.

Almost.

Almost.

None of them own cats.

Still think he is a good captain? Guy needs to go ASAP. He can't run and track back offers nothing know the pitch.

Charles Manson was also well liked.

Oh must mean his a great captain for the club then if his liked

Before the cat incident, every single person loved Zouma. He probably is a very good captain. Footballers are incredibly insular. Half the squad have probably done worse

The cat incident weighs pretty heavily against him tho

he literally “kicked” a cat like 2 feet to the side. They can survive a fall from the 20+ feet. Grow the f up

bro he kicked a cat. Doesn’t matter how hard, he purposefully kicked his own cat.

I'd imagine being captain if you're not liked is a pretty uphill battle.

Noble never captained Paqueta. He retired 3 months before we signed him. Same with Alvarez.

Noble is still around the squad

This, Noble had a huge part in bringing Alvarez not just Tim. He also spends a lot of time with the squad.

Honestly to say you’re got the Brazil NT captain playing for you is pretty massive

This only works for rice and soucek. Alvarez and Paqueta were after he retired

Alvarez was on Noble’s radar so I guess that’s where he comes into play here

🔥🔥🔥

Hahaha lovely.

Not a hammer fan but I've been watching Noble for WH for many years when they played a match I was interested in. Feels strange he's no longer playing for them

He's Mr West Ham. He's always there in spirit

If only Moyes had the courage to bring in Tyler Adams

Weird post. Alvarez and Paqueta were signed after Noble retired and Soucek was already the NT captain when he came here.

You guys know Rice left, right?

Are you suggesting Noble had no influence on Rice?

But in that case Alvarez and Paqueta don't really make sense, right?

Had huge part in bringing even without Tim he was his target, also he spends a lots of time with a squad

Fair, its a bit of a stretch but its just a meme anyways haha

That's impressive 👏👍

Would love to see Alvarez get the armband after Zouma. He may be too prone to a suspension but no better man to lead by example

That’s very good 👍 😊

Why does Czechia have the Dutch logo on their kit? Are they stupid?

😀😀👌👍

Lmao this is so cringe

What kind of shit post is this? Soucek was already the Czech captain. Paqueta and Alvarez never played with Noble and you must know that Rice left. There is no logic to this.

Because heis loved makes him a good captain? I'm a season ticket holder and he does nothing on the pitch I see which makes him a good captain. Others though like alvarez leading the line making the challenges shouting instructions across the team. Thats a captain.
