Manchester City defender Micah Richards insists he's as talented as any current English right-back.
Richards is currently playing on-loan with Fiorentina.
"England is a touchy subject," Richards said.
"It was a weird situation because I got a call from Stuart Pearce (to say he was not in Euro 2012 squad).
"Why's he ringing me? Why not Hodgson? Stuart said: 'Roy's not going to take you to the Euros but he wants you to go on standby.' I was angry."
"There are right-backs performing better than me now but I don't believe they have better attributes than me. People always say to me: 'You should be England right-back'.
"I know how good I am as a player."
