Jamie Carragher Replica Soccer Jersey has
admitted that there is a fear factor for England players.”One mistake and
you could be absolutely slaughtered,” the Liverpool
defender told BBC Radio 5 live. “At your club, you know you will not be
criticised as much and perhaps three days later there will be another game.
“With England,
it could be months before you have another fixture. There is a fear at times
when playing for England.”
Carragher, speaking a year after England’s
elimination from the World Cup, said players sometimes buckled under the media
scrutiny.”The intensity of the press does get to the players,” said the
33-year-old. “Sometimes I think players would prefer the press guy to think
they had played well, rather than the manager.”England were knocked out of the

Africa, arguing that players were bored.”You stay in a hotel all day but you
are at a World Cup for a long time and should be able to experience different
things,” he said.”I wouldn’t want players holed up. Take away the boredom,
embrace the country we are in more. You never see anything.”Tottenham manager
Harry Redknapp echoed Carragher’s sentiments.”I spoke to a few players who said
they were sat in their rooms waiting for the day to pass,” said the Spurs boss.

prioritise club football over representing their country.”
The rewards, the money that is involved in
club football and the desire to play in the Champions League – it seems the
international game is almost taking second stage,” he said. “Players are loved
by their clubs but not always when they play for their country.”England won only one of their four games in South Africa, recording a 1-0 victory over Slovenia in

youngsters.”Three Lions of Africa, examining England’s
