Jamie Carragher insists he "won't have a problem" if he is booed during England's friendly with Mexico at Wembley on Monday night.[LNB] The Liverpool defender has come out of a three-year international retirement to earn a place in Fabio Capello's preliminary 30-man World Cup squad.[LNB]Some have been angered by Carragher's U-turn after he revealed he was far from committed to international football in his autobiography.[LNB]The 32-year-old is therefore bracing himself for verbal abuse from some sections of the crowd when England take on Mexico in a World Cup warm-up. [LNB]"Better players than me have been booed by supporters," said Carragher. "If it happens, I'll deal with it. [LNB]"I won't have a problem with it because I know that if Liverpool had a player that left the club and came back three years later there would be some fans that wouldn't be happy. [LNB]"These things can take a bit of time so I will understand if the reaction at Wembley isn't that fantastic.[LNB]"I left and then I was asked to come back - I haven't been given any guarantees about a place in the 23. [LNB]"The manager knows me from playing for Liverpool so he probably watches me once every three weeks throughout the season. [LNB]"But he doesn't know what I'm like around the hotel or the training pitch, he doesn't know me well enough to guarantee anything. [LNB]"I have joined up with the squad to do what I do for Liverpool and hope the manager deems it good enough to warrant a place at the World Cup."
