I would agree if Carrick were not the obvious best defensive midfielder in the Country (and I am including every Premier League midfielder). Why would he waste his time on the bench watching cloggers like Scott Parker and Gerrard playing ahead of him when he could be with his family enjoying a well deserved break and possibly prolonging his career? If anything, the fact that he has had no say in any previous tournament makes his decision even more justifiable.

Not really sure how many World Class players you think England have. Probably only Joe Hart, Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and
maybe Lescott is we want to stretch it. I am a huge Lampard fan, but he is past his best and probably won't start.
