    Liverpool FC – Steven Gerrard Can Focus on What’s Important

    No more England for Steven Gerrard, only Liverpool.

    Liverpool & Steven Gerrard Will Benefit Without England Duty

    Steven Gerrard didn’t get the captain’s armband in the friendly against the Netherlands, while Scott Parker did. Right, wrong? It doesn’t really matter.
