Carragher, great for Liverpool, never really lived up to expectation when in an England shirt.

To be fair, he has been asked to play RB, LB, CM as well as his preferred CB role, and has never been given a run in the side.

In my opinion Ferdinand is over-rated, and Woodgate is a bottler.

Carragher is genuine.

No-one's mentioned Sol Campbell?

Sol Campbell was the best centre half by far. He was the best C.H. I have ever seen because he stopped things happening. They used to say "you need a map to get round Japp" at utd but Campbell was even harder.

It was amazing the amout of players who would put him in their world XI yet we always under rated him.

But he has lost his ability to turn quickly. Terry is not the quickest on the turn either. To play Terry and Campbell together is dangerous against typical Latin teams.
