Carragher ready for central role

Sven-Goran Eriksson insists he will play the team that will start against Paraguay in the first game of the World Cup when England face the Hungarians at Old Trafford, and Carragher now looks to be part of that starting 11.

With Carragher in midfield, Steven Gerrard is expected to play in a more attacking role in the absence of Wayne Rooney.
