Outspoken: Former Ireland captain Roy Keane[LNB]Roy Keane believes England can win the World Cup whether or not John Terry retains the captaincy.[LNB]Ipswich boss Keane skippered Manchester United and the Republic of Ireland during a playing career punctuated with controversy.[LNB]He had several run-ins with referees and the football authorities, famously walking out on his country on the eve of the World Cup finals in 2002.[LNB]Keane admitted: 'We all make mistakes and there's no halo over my head. It's very, very easy to kick a man when he's down. I'm certainly not going to do that but when you're in the public eye, as I've been for the last 10 to 15 years, you have to be careful.'You remember the support you receive, like when I was getting hammered years ago for something.'[LNB]England boss Fabio Capello will announce today whether Terry will continue to lead his country. Regardless of Capello's decision, Keane doesn't see it impacting on England's chances in South Africa this summer.[LNB]Keane added: 'I don't know how the manager works and I don't know his mindset.

Of course not.'[LNB] Sportsmail comment: So can you really trust your captain John Terry now, Fabio?SHOWDOWN!
