Great news, and about time too.
It'll be Rooney for captain then?

Good news for us he's giving Emgland up, he's got a few years left to really give his all at trying to win trophies for us without the risk of tiredness, injuries and general distraction from being England captain.
Shame the complete low he's left the England set up but under the Bodge it's got no chance of improving quickly.Comment

Good news, hopefully it the breaks will allow him to stay at the top of his game for longer
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

I thought he'd stay on after Bodge made a comment post WC which seemed to suggest that SG could pick and choose his international games.Comment

100% correct decision. Wouldn't surprise me to see Gerrard only playing one game a week for us this coming season.James Philip Milner Fanclub #1

Zinedine Zidane insists Liverpool will benefit from Steven Gerrard’s international retirement
Zinedine Zidane has claimed that Liverpool will feel a massive benefit from Steven Gerrard’s decision to retire from international football, feeling that the Reds could see the same benefit that Manchester United got from Paul Scholes decision to quit England.
Gerrard announced his retirement from England duty after accomplishing 114 caps, ending his career as captain of Roy Hodgson’s side in their disappointing World Cup campaign in Brazil this summer.
The search is on for a new England captain and most seem to be in the agreement that it was best for club, country and player that Gerrard stepped down from his role, with the Liverpool skipper himself under the belief that his body cannot cope with the rigours of both domestic and international football anymore.
Zidane has now joined that chorus those who deem the best move for Gerrard and feels that Liverpool will reap the rewards from seeing their captain dedicate his efforts purely towards club football from now on.
Zidane was quoted in the Daily Star as having said, “It is a big decision – but I can understand it and I think it will be good for Liverpool.
“Liverpool showed past season that they are close to achieving something special – and it is so important they have their captain available.
“They are back in the Champions League this season and as you get older, you have to accept you can’t play every game for club and country. I am sure it was not an easy decision for Steven, but I think it is the right one for himself and Liverpool.
“I remember how surprised people were when Paul Scholes retired from playing for England – but Manchester United saw the benefit of that.
“He was winning Premier League titles until his late 30s, and now Steven doesn’t have the responsibility of playing for England, you feel he can replicate it with Liverpool.”What do you mean it could've been anyone? Name me one person who's got a grudge against penguins
