Its fair to say that Gerrard never reached the form he did for England at club level, but his commitment was always there. He had no choice but to retire in my opinion. Its obvious to everyone that his time is done for England but he would of kept being picked for the team by Hodgson. What's the guy supposed to do?
Beckham never officially retired and it was commendable how he fought his way back into the team, but it became a circus act near the end. Gerrard cant win either way, he carries on playing and he's not good enough or if he retires he's a traitor, its nonsense.
With regards to Gerrard saving himself for Liverpool, so what? He is going to be phased out from the team and probably wants to enjoy the 30-40 games he manages to get from them in a season.
As for the Lahm, you're 30 years old and just captained your country to a world cup win. Why wouldn't you go out on top?
