La La Land intrigue as Stevie ready to set sail

For many years, England worried about squeezing Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard into the same midfield. Now America frets about getting them into the same league, writes Larry Ryan.

They must wait anxiously on Lamps, who will try to cement his place in Chelsea history by denying them a title, before taking up his next departmental secondment within the City multinational.

But Stevie, at least, looks in the bag. He will make his debut for LA Galaxy on July 17 against San Jose Earthquakes.
