Big stage: Carragher (centre) featured for England at the 2010 World Cup
'I've got nothing against Capello – I went with him to the World Cup and got to know him a little bit there but I just think that's what international football is.
'I can't say the World Cup went great under Fabio Capello because it didn't, but getting a foreign manager is like saying, 'Well, our keeper's not good enough so we're going to go and get Buffon from Italy', or whoever it may be.

Carragher, nevertheless, does consider Capello to be far superior to his predecessor, Steve McClaren.
