My own opinion is he should follow JC and retire. It would be for the good of the club and the prospects of winning more silverware.
I also think all english based Liverpool players should rule themselves out of the England set up but that's never gonna happen!
Your thoughts?

I don't think he should, but it's evident the English side seem to always play half-arsed. Today playing for England doesn't mean anything, it's as if it's like National Service and you've got to just turn up and stick it out.

Thanks but I get enough sleep - think it's a valid enough question to ask in current climate.

Current Climate - explain the current climate to me !
So England are playing bad - so what !
Gerrard is at his peak and should be playing for his national team...if all players decided to retire from International duty then there wouldn't be a World Cup or European Championships.
So what is your valid point? I for one enjoy watching the Euros and the World Cup and want England to succeed.

That's not my argument - current climate is that the England team sleep walk games because a numberof players assume they will be picked no matter what.This hasn't changed with Fabio in charge.
All the team should be picked on form including Gerrard.

To me the English side is just full of EPL big names, Capello needs to cut 30% of the squad and replace with younger more enthusistic squad because quite frankly...it isn't working. Maybe the World Cup will give them a kick up the arse.

What I find interesting is that most people, (Not Us of course), shout that Gerrard is NO GOOD, and is crap and can not play with wonderful fat Frank, but now Stevie is injured, the head lines are GERRARD TO MISS ENGLAND GAMES! So? he is also going to miss Liverpools, f@@king games too! but because he was, in my opinion, the only one who tried against the Czech Republic, and when he went off, the game fell apart for England they are now concerned. It will be interesting to see how England play against the mighty Andora!

I think stevie should tell capello to play him were he wants to play because he is the best player in that team. Ive said that the best england midfield is:
LM: Young
RM: Bently
CM: Hardgreeves
CM: Gerrard(c)
Capello's team is, in all respect, just stupid and obviously doesnt work. Im not boasting, just stating that im sure most people would prefare my lineup rather than his

Why on earth would we want Gerrard to retire, he's our only player that represents England. Carragher is a different story, he did it because he was sick of being 5th best all the time whereas Gerrard is ALWAYS in the starting line up. Would take something amazingly bad for Gerrard to even consider it himself tbh.

This is a stupid topic... why would he want to retire? I can understand if your never getting picked and are just travelling with the squad, but hes the best midfield player in this country.

Absolutely agree, Gerrard is England's best player without a shadow of a doubt!

I don't see any sense is this thread to be honest. Speaking as a proud and passionate England fan I want the nation's best players, playing for country. Steven Gerrard is the best central midfielder ever to play for England in my opinion and for him to retire so young would crucify the three lions. It's often the case that it's Stevie who has to play out of position to accomodate Lampard, Barry, Hargreaves whoever. Many fans, mainly from other clubs, will tell you Gerrard doesn't perform for England but that is total bollocks. He was our joint top scorer in the last world cup and he plays well despite being shifted around. Not arsed about the captaincy and I think Terry is as good a choice as Stevie would of been.
But this country needs Gerrard in the starting 11. When he's missing, it's painfully obvious.

Its not only selfish to think so, but its also slightly insane side of things. What would even be the reason for such a decision, that I would love to know as Gerrard has an great liverpool history. Barring injury his legacy as it regards the England outfit will also increase, and in doing so enhances his Liverpool's status...

Interesting to see so many people posting how they are proud to support England & that this thread is a stupid idea - why would Gerrard want to retire etc.
I too support my national team but I really struggle to see any passion for the shirt from the players on the pitch. The last time I did was the Euro'96 competition. Since then there have been flickers of passion in games but nothing that has ever been sustained.
It's also interesting to see that none of the 'playing for England is a waste of time brigade' have posted in this thread, funny how a post I made about the recent international that England played against the Czech Rep. got plenty of negative reaction here on the forum.
I still say that Gerrard may realistically consider this IF he wants to lift the Premiership trophy with Liverpool anytime soon.
