Rooney will probably be the next captain. One scouse tosser for another.

Thank God, he was two caps away from being England's all-time most-capped outfield player. Can't say I will miss him...

I think only the opposition will.

International midfield's everywhere will be gutted, no more enormous gaps to wander through or aimless 60 yard punts into the crowd.

says all we need to know about the guy in all honestly. Jumped ship before he was pushed. stevie me

Gives England a real chance to develop if Lampard also called it a day.

From the BBC website. Looks like he's going to be a high profile ambassador. What a scary thought. And he's been contemplating retirement for sometime.

 

"England captain Steven Gerrard has retired from international football after winning 114 caps.

Gerrard, 34, won his first cap in a 2-0 win over Ukraine in 2000 and played for the last time at the 2014 World Cup in a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica.

"I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me," the Liverpool midfielder said.

Gerrard will now assume a "high profile" ambassadorial role with the Football Association.

The England midfielder scored 21 times and represented his country at six major tournaments.

"It was a very difficult decision to make. It's something I have been contemplating for a long time, not just since the end of the World Cup," the Liverpool skipper said.

"I've had to take an awful lot of advice from people who are close to me - players that I still play with, ex-players who I played with a long time ago, managers who I played for years ago.

"It's been a really tough decision, certainly one of the toughest since I turned professional at 18."

Gerrard will continue his club career with Liverpool, with whom he made his debut in 1998 against Blackburn Rovers."

0 loss.

Sadly, it will happen.

Well at least Stevie me went out on a high note.

His best contribution to the national team.

I don't think it should an event at all... don't think we should even give him the dignity of a thread

Gerrard let slip that he is retiring from internation football.

I wonder if Adrian Chiles will write another grovelling article in the Radio Times as he did a few weeks back.

Good maybe now Woy will pick players on merit

Well precisely... that is the only thing we might have to endure. Cue the puke-fest.

Just heard Gerrard on the radio; cheerful, interesting sounding bloke...I must record him and play it back when next I can't sleep.
