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 made his last England appearance in a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup.
The Liverpool midfielder said: "I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me."
Gerrard will now take on a "high profile" ambassadorial role with the Football Association.
He retires from international duty having scored 21 goals and played at six major tournaments. He ranks third on England's most-capped player list behind only Peter Shilton (125) and David Beckham (115).

No loss. Such an over rated player.

Oh well at least he will still be a liability to Liverpool next season.

Will hopefully give some younger guys the chance to underachieve in an England shirt instead

Probably the most overrated player I've ever seen. Another shocking tournament from him!
Was amazing seeing him collapse against Chelsea last season!
Not sure what's the bigger myth, him carrying pool, this great leader or him apparently winning cl final against Milan on his own. Yeh Hamann sub at ht didn't change anything!
