Head coach Stuart Pearce was without the pair in Denmark as Arsenal youngster Wilshere pulled out of the squad while Carroll missed out due to a thigh injury.
Wilshere is regarded as one of the country's brightest talents, however, he opted against playing in the tournament as he wanted to rest during the summer.
and then if he did go and England still got knocked out everyone would say it's because he was tired and that he shouldn't have been playing due to having played through a 50+ game season for the first time in his recently started career. It's not his fault England don't have any decent replacements and if they do, then they guilty of the same "crime" that Wilshere supposedly committed...
...they didn't show up.
