  1. Respect to Ben White, the brother just doesn’t want to play for the national team. Doesn’t owe anyone an explanation “He just don’t want to” that’s it.

  2. There is a reason. He doesn’t care about playing for England. Why is that such a bad thing? He doesn’t even watch football on his day off. I’d say it’s pretty entitled to shame someone who doesn’t want to play for England. They’ve got enough players and also never win

  3. The English national team is disrespected by the UK media. They just came second in the Euros and instead of being given a welcome home as heroes the manager was hounded out of a job. In other European countries this would not have happened. So if Ben White does not want to dedicate his time to playing for the England team and perhaps receiving this treatment or for some other reason then so be it. He is free to do so.

  4. Ben White has made the right call because the English team like Tottenham aren’t going to win anything. Star this message and at the end of the careers of the so called Golden generation you’ll tell me I was right

  5. Even before he made himself ‘unavailable’, when he was performing as the 2nd best right back in the league, Southgate still wasn’t calling him up so he wouldn’t be getting called up anyway

  6. Wish all the players from my club would make themselves unavailable for their national sides. Thought for a long time national sides should have their own players exclusively signed to them, so when they get injured it does not impact club sides.

  7. Moreno didn't pull no punches in his assessment of White. That was savage. But, if these players don't want to play for their national teams let them decide.

  8. Value is of Self… If a player doesn't feel Valued anywhere then its of their own Values to attain what is InValuable to them – which is Peace!! Not fighting for pieces! Of others puzzle (WORTH)!..

  9. Ben White said he doesn't watch football.
    Ben White doesn't care about being the best RB or CB.
    Ben White is so different from other players in that he doesn't care about being in the national team.
    People should grasp that others can be different, we are not always the same or think the same.
    Ben White is not like you and me.
    Ben White is Ben White and does Ben White things like not caring about playing for England.
    We should learn how to accept other's decisions and respect them. We can't all be the same or want the same things in life.

  10. ESPN football pundits should do better than demonizing Ben White's action. They can do well to interview him rather sit in the studio saying what they know nothing about.

  11. Ben white. Please please take the advice of the 1999 hammer of the year and a guy that never played outside the mls and even within that wasn’t a success. They must know what they’re talking about

  12. Why would you want to waste Two weeks of your limited free time to sit on a bench when you could be with your family having fun.England are a wast of time under this F.A and managment anyway and will achieve nothing.

  13. It's stupid to say he's going to regret it. Playing for England does absolutely nothing for his career. The only thing playing for the national team provides is pride, nothing else . And if he's not the best why is it a problem if he's not available. These guys argument is just gibberish.

  14. Ben won’t regret it. Before he walked out that door, he must have put in a good amount of thought into it. No one wants to work in an environment where he/she isn’t respected. Period!!!
