EMBARGOED UNTIL 2300 BST (GMT+1) WEDNESDAY MAY 19,2010
England footballer Jamie Carragher,32, poses for photographers outside the team hotel in Irdning, Austria on May 19, 2010 ahead of the World Cup Finals in South Africa. Jamie Carragher insisted Wednesday that he still has to earn his ticket to the World Cup, despite being personally persuaded by Fabio Capello to add his grizzled experience to England's injury-depleted defensive resources. Carragher stopped playing for England in 2007 after growing unhappy at his lack of first-team chances under Sven Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren at a time when he was at the peak of his career.
