The 35-year-old announced his retirement from international football in 2004 and although there have been talks on certain occasions of the veteran midfielder coming out of retirement, Scholes has refused to play for England.
However, the Salford-born player has now admitted that he shouldn't have turned down Capello's proposal to play in South Africa. Although Scholes says that he might not have made much of a difference, he concedes that he made the wrong decision.
"A couple of weeks into it, I thought I maybe should have gone," Scholes said, according to the AFP. "I am not saying I would have made a difference. I am saying I might have made the wrong decision."
Scholes made 66 international appearances for England and scored 14 goals before calling it a day weeks after the European Championships in 2004.
