Steven Gerrard insists he and his England teammates can win a major trophy in the next three years – even if the current qualifying campaign ends in heartache. The 27-year-old, who once again stands in as skipper this week in the absence of John Terry, knows his dream of Euro 2008 glory could slip away if Israel lose to Russia on Saturday.
It would be the fifth international campaign which has ended in disappointment during Gerrard's career, but the Huyton-born midfielder still believes his dream could one day become reality.
"I still believe and have a dream of winning something with England," he said.
"If you look around the squad and see the players we've got, they should be capable of winning something. If we have to suffer this summer to have a successful World Cup in 2010, then that really would be worth the aggravation, if you want to call it that.
"Can you imagine this country if we have a successful tournament? And that's what I want to be part of.
"I have the same dream I had when I was a kid. Any young English player who doesn't have that dream shouldn't be playing for England.
"I can assure everyone on the outside that the players are frustrated and disappointed at the position we're in and are desperate to put it right."

Removed from the Land of the Hornbills to search for a new destiny...searching for a path once lost...lost to the wages of time and choice...
