	BigSoccer Boards - Simo Valakari: your 2005 captain
		I think Simo is an excellent choice, and Oscar would have been too, although Oscar won't likely be getting the playing time that Simo will.
		Simo not only leads by his professionalism by ALL accounts but he and Oscar clearly have extremely high mutual respect.
		I think Simo may also think twice about getting so many yellow cards if he's going to be captain--you can't have your captain regularly missing matches due to accumulation or getting red carded.

		Valakari moved to Plano, Texas, after signing with the then-Dallas Burn before the start of the 2004 MLS season, having spent the previous four seasons with Derby County in England.
		Complicating matters is the fact that Valakari has three young children--ages 7, 6 and 2--who moved with him to Texas, along with his wife, Inkeri.
		Needing youth soccer teams to play for, Valakari's two eldest children were recruited by Team Dynamo 98 and Everton 99, locally known as the best teams in the area, which has nothing to do with the fact that they allow 98 and 99 players on the field, respectively, as opposed to 11 for their opponents.

		Simo Valakari, Giorgi Kinkladze and Lee Grant are all away on international duties on Saturday and the Football League have today given Derby County the green light to rearrange the game against Millwall.
		Simo Valakari, the Finnish international midfielder, has not been anywhere near the first team this season and Giorgi Kinkladze has been dropped to the bench in the last games.
		Leading us to the conclusion that the real reason for Derby's wish for a rearranged game perhaps is to give the club more time to sort out the gigantic mess they are currently in.
