Former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has labeled the "golden generation" of English football "egotistical losers," blaming ego and club rivalries for their failure to win international tournaments.

• Gerrard, who earned 114 international caps, believes the lack of team cohesion due to club divisions prevented success during his playing career.
• He contrasted this with the current camaraderie among the former players as pundits, questioning why they couldn't connect earlier.
• Under manager Gareth Southgate's leadership, England reached the final of the past two European Championships, with Thomas Tuchel now taking charge for the next World Cup.
