Liverpool star and England lynchpin in the midfield Steven Gerrard has been appointed the skipper of the England national team.Capello the coach has said that gerrard has been appointed the captain as he commands authority.It is not a new role for Gerrad and the two matches he has captained were both lost one against Russia 2-1 and the another one against Croatia 3-2.
Gerrard had been in strong contention to replace David Beckham as captain when he stood down after England's elimination from the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Steve McClaren eventually decided to appoint Terry who has shown himself to be a capable leader.Let us hope that gerrard will lead england to the victory march.
