Steven Gerrard -- I Pick My Clothes Better Than I Pick My Teams ... I Thought England Was A Lock

Sometimes national pride gets in the way of picking a winner … and Steven Gerrard just learned that lesson the hard way.

Our photog caught the new LA Galaxy player at Craig’s Tuesday night and the first words out of his mouth were all about England’s chicks winning it all.

He’s totally soaking up the Hollywood scene … obviously getting acclimated to LA’s glitzy style and the flashes from all the cameras.

Too bad for Steven cause his home base England just got eliminated by Japan before they could even face USA in the finals.
