England skipper Gerrard: I'll shake hands with Suarez - and that's it!

England skipper Steven Gerrard is putting his friendship with Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez to one side.

England will be out of the World Cup if they lose to Suarez's Uruguay tonight.

Gerrard said: "I will say hello and shake his hand but at that moment I am not looking for friends. He knows once that whistle blows there is no friendship between us for 90 minutes.

"Of course we have had banter up to this point. It has to remain private, but he is a very confident guy. He plays in our country and this match means an awful lot to him and he is desperate to win it."
