Last updated : 29 May 2008 By Al Campbell
Speaking after last night's friendly win over the USA, Gerrard admitted failing to qualify for Euro 2008 has been a constant disappointment.

"Not going to the Euro finals has been hitting home for a long time, ever since we failed to qualify," said the Liverpool captain.

"We are going to have to suffer that disappointment throughout the summer. We all wanted to be part of the finals and challenging to win the tournament.

"But we've got to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers. We have to put the disappointment we are feeling about this summer to the back of our minds."
