Gerrard doesn't want to experience repeat of Euro2008 flop

Liverpool's England captain Steven Gerrard is desperate to avoid World Cup failure.

Gerrard was left devastated after missing out on qualification for Euro 2008 - and he doesn't want to experience the same pain again.

Gerrard said: "It was a very tough time in 2008.

"It was the lowest experience I have ever had as an England player and I don't want it to happen again.

"It was a horrible situation to be in. Hopefully the hurt and the pain from that time will help drive us all on."
