iverpool skipper Steven Gerrard insists he will not call time on his international career despite England's World Cup disappointment.[LNB] The midfielder skippered Fabio Capello's side through their faltering Group C campaign followed by the 4-1 second-round loss to Germany.[LNB]Since the defeat, Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher - who was persuaded to come out of retirement for the tournament by Capello - has again announced his withdrawal from the England scene.[LNB]The Italian boss is also thought to be planning to make wholesale changes to his side, replacing some of the 'old guard' with younger blood.[LNB]But Gerrard insists he will not be quitting England duty - and he desperately wants to add to his 84 caps and make amends for the Germany debacle.[LNB]He told Liverpool's official website: "There is no way I want the disappointment of the Germany game to be my last for England.[LNB]"It was such a low and I am determined to do as much as I can to make amends for what happened.[LNB]"I expect there to be a lot of changes to the squad and it is up to the manager whether I am selected, but I am going to continue to make myself available for my country."
