Sam Allardyce decides to keep Wayne Rooney as England captain

It was "an easy decision" for Big Sam.

Wayne Rooney will continue as England captain after manager Sam Allardyce made the "easy" decision to retain his services.

Rooney, 30, has led his country for the past two years, but after taking over from Roy Hodgson following Euro 2016 Allardyce initially refused to confirm he would keep the armband.
