Comeback king Carra ready to star

Jamie Carragher is raring to partner John Terry in the heart of England's defence at the World Cup. The Liverpool defender, who ended his self-imposed international retirement in order to be part of England’s quest for global glory in South Africa, has been thrust into the limelight following injuries to Rio Ferdinand and Ledley King. He replaced King after 45 minutes of his team’s opening draw against USA on Saturday and is likely to retain his place for Friday's match against Algeria. "Yes, if I'm given the opportunity. Time will tell, we'll be able to assess after the performances," said Carragher. He also believes his experience of playing in the 2006 World Cup will stand him in good stead. "I'm sure that will help it is always a big thing in football, experience," he added.
