The day after…(2)

Steven Gerrard’s season started last July and came to an end yesterday. Throughout this period he had on many occasions come to the rescue of Liverpool, ending the EPL season on a high. As such, there was no doubt that he will be a star in the World Cup.

Somehow things did not work out that way. Either it was the formation which England played or it was just exhaustion as Stevie G failed to reproduce his magic for England. But still, mind you, it was not due to the lack of trying. And he did end up as England’ top scorer at the World Cup with two goals.

The weight of the entire England supporters were on him when he went to take the penalty kick and as soon as he missed, you just knew, it was all over for England.

He is now one of the favourites to replace David Beckham as the England captain following Beckham’s decision to step down today. I am sure he will be a better leader on the field than Beckham was.
