In May 2005, while still a member of the under-21 team, Carson was called up to theEnglandsenior team squad for the team's tour of the United States later that month.[70]A year later, he came on as substitute forRobert Green,who had suffered a serious injury, in theEngland Binternational friendly againstBelarusin May 2006.[71]The injury to Green, who had been named in the England squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, led to Carson, who was on standby, being promoted to the England squad for the tournament,[72]although he did not make any appearances.[citation needed]Carson continued to be selected for the England senior team squad,[73][74]and in May 2007, made his second appearance for the England B team in a 3–1 win over Albania.[75]Following the 2007 UEFA Under-21 Championships, he made his full England debut in a friendly againstAustriain November 2007 when he kept a clean sheet.[76]A week later, he made his competitive debut replacing Paul Robinson in a crucial match againstCroatia,which England lost 3–2, resulting in their failure to qualify forUEFA Euro 2008.[77]Carson was held particularly culpable for the first goal, whenNiko Kranjčarcut inside and his dipping speculative shot from 30 yards dipped and bounced in front of him, with Carson only succeeding in parrying the ball into the net as it squirmed through him.[78][79][77]England coachSteve McClarenwas dismissed the next day,[80]as commentators criticised McClaren for selecting an inexperienced goalkeeper for the match.[81]

New managerFabio Capellonamed Carson in his first England squad for the friendly match againstSwitzerlandin February 2008,[82]but the goalkeeper did not make the final squad for the match againstFrancethe following month due to injury.[83]After failing to make Capello's squads for the next five internationals, Carson was recalled to the England squad in October 2008 for the2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiersagainstKazakhstanandBelarus.[84][85]He won his third England cap in November 2008, in a friendly againstGermanyin Berlin when he came on for the second half.[86]In doing so he became the first West Bromwich Albion player to play for England for 24 years.[87]He won his fourth cap as a second-half substitute against Sweden on 15 November 2011, becoming the first-ever Bursaspor player to play for England in the club's history.[88]
