Jamie Carragher has claimed he is `` sick '' of `` nonsense '' excuses from his ex- England teammates over their dismal exit from the 2010 World Cup .
The former Liverpool defender was included in Fabio Capello 's Three Lions squad for the tournament in South Africa , where England were dumped out by Germany in the last-16 .
England had struggled throughout the tournament , managing only draws with USA and Algeria , before scraping past Slovakia 1-0 to reach the knockout stage .
It was there where they were given a footballing lesson by eventual semi-finalists Germany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to England .
The buck naturally stopped with boss Capello , who was blamed heavily for his side 's performance , but Carragher insists the players should have taken more responsibility .
`` Sometimes I read things , 4 , 8 , 12 years later after World Cups , and even though I ’ m talking about some of my teammates here and friends , I ’ m sick of hearing footballers making excuses , '' Carragher told Sky Sports .
`` Always blaming a manager or coach , where they live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there ’ s ketchup on the table has got nothing to do with anything .
`` The base we were in I loved it .
The training pitch was right there , the facilities were fantastic .
People were saying we couldn ’ t go out and do things but I think the players went on safaris , they ’ d go and play golf .
`` You ’ re at a World Cup .
I don ’ t know what people actually expect .
Every three or four games you ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can ’ t be going about anyway , you wouldn ’ t be flying about town if you were at home . ''
Among the reasons to pitch blame on Capello were the decision to play Steven Gerrard out of position on the left , as well as selecting Robert Green for the clash with USA , where the goalkeeper 's blunder allowed the opponents to equalise .
Capello stayed on as England boss after the tournament , and secured qualification for Euro 2012 , before resigning in a row with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has since spoken out on Capello 's reign , labelling the Italian 's tenure as a `` disappointment '' , but Carragher feels England 's shortcomings were not solely down to the manager .
`` I always think when you ’ re a player , look at yourself first , '' Carragher added .
`` That doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t have thoughts on a manager or could he have played a different team , but to actually blame where we were , blame Capello , what the food was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the players at that time , we didn ’ t perform at World Cups .
`` And it wasn ’ t just that World Cup it was every tournament so to say that comes down to Capello ’ s management and how he went about things .
`` And let ’ s not forget this is a manager who coached and managed the best players in the world .
So I think its a bit rich for us as players who haven ’ t achieved anything at international [ level ] to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s calibre . ''

Fabio Capello's England were eliminated from the tournament in South Africa at the last-16 stage having stumbled through their group before being thrashed by Germany
Jamie Carragher has claimed he is "sick" of "nonsense" excuses from his ex- England teammates over their dismal exit from the 2010 World Cup.
The former Liverpool defender was included in Fabio Capello's Three Lions squad for the tournament in South Africa, where England were dumped out by Germany in the last-16.
England had struggled throughout the tournament, managing only draws with USA and Algeria, before scraping past Slovakia 1-0 to reach the knockout stage.
It was there where they were given a footballing lesson by eventual semi-finalists Germany, losing 4-1 to be sent packing back to England.
The buck naturally stopped with boss Capello, who was blamed heavily for his side's performance, but Carragher insists the players should have taken more responsibility.

"Sometimes I read things, 4, 8, 12 years later after World Cups, and even though I’m talking about some of my teammates here and friends, I’m sick of hearing footballers making excuses," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"Always blaming a manager or coach, where they live, ketchup on the table. Whether there’s ketchup on the table has got nothing to do with anything.
"The base we were in I loved it. The training pitch was right there , the facilities were fantastic. People were saying we couldn’t go out and do things but I think the players went on safaris, they’d go and play golf.

"You’re at a World Cup. I don’t know what people actually expect. Every three or four games you’re building up to a game.
"You can’t be going about anyway, you wouldn’t be flying about town if you were at home."
Among the reasons to pitch blame on Capello were the decision to play Steven Gerrard out of position on the left, as well as selecting Robert Green for the clash with USA, where the goalkeeper's blunder allowed the opponents to equalise.
Capello stayed on as England boss after the tournament, and secured qualification for Euro 2012, before resigning in a row with the FA over John Terry.
Wayne Rooney has since spoken out on Capello's reign, labelling the Italian's tenure as a "disappointment", but Carragher feels England's shortcomings were not solely down to the manager.
"I always think when you’re a player, look at yourself first," Carragher added.
"That doesn’t mean you can’t have thoughts on a manager or could he have played a different team, but to actually blame where we were, blame Capello, what the food was, I just think its a nonsense and the players at that time, we didn’t perform at World Cups.
"And it wasn’t just that World Cup it was every tournament so to say that comes down to Capello’s management and how he went about things.
"And let’s not forget this is a manager who coached and managed the best players in the world. So I think its a bit rich for us as players who haven’t achieved anything at international [level] to start questioning a manager of Capello’s calibre."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is blessed with a host of quality players like Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, but a former player reckons one is more crucial than the others
Virgil van Dijk is the most valuable player available to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claims Michael Owen.
The former Reds striker admits their front three are the ones who grab the headlines, but it is the Dutchman who is most crucial to their success.
Van Dijk moved to Anfield in January 2018 from Southampton and has since transformed their fortunes.
Klopp's side have never struggled to score goals, but it was keeping them out that undermined them in the German's early days.
The Dutchman cost £75m but it already looks good value given their success since.
"Well it's a great question," Owen said on ESPN when questioned over who Liverpool's most valuable asset is.

"And he went and got possibly the best two players in the world in those places in Alisson and Van Dijk.
"Who's the most important player? The front three get a lot of headlines of course. The two full-backs get a lot of headlines, they're amazing.
