Jamie Carragher

The training pitch was right there.

I mean, the facilities were fantastic.

People were saying we couldn't go out and do things

But I think the players are on safaris.

They're going to play golf.

You're at a World Cup.

I don't know what people actually expect, where they're going to be.

Every three or four games, you're building up towards a game.

So there's actually the warm-down after one game.

Then you're building up to the next one with the training.

You can't be going out anywhere.

You'll be flying about around town.

If I was at home in Liverpool, I'd have had a game in a day or two anyway.

So I always think whenever you're a player, and I always take myself back to a player, I've never managed, I've never coached, is...

Always look at yourself first.

Always do that.

Now, that doesn't mean you can have thoughts on, I might as well have done something different or...

couldn't have played a different team or could have went about things better.

I'm sure Fabio Capello could in some cases, but to actually blame where we were, blame Capello, blame what the food was, I just think it's a nonsense.

And I think the players at that time, we didn't perform at World Cups and it wasn't just that World Cup.
