Personally I think it is Terryble that Bridge isn't prepared to build bridges.
With the Cole and Bridge situation as it is, people keep mentioning untried and untested (at international level) left-backs to come in and fill that void. I'm not sure if that's the answer.
I can remember a previous World Cup (post Alan Shearer's international retirement) when there was a media campaign to reverse his decision and play for his country again. Jamie Carragher retired from international football a few years ago, but surely he would be the best English candidate to fill that position - if he could be persuaded to do so?
