Darren Bent and Andy Goldstein discussed if it is ever right for players to switch nationalities, if they’ve never made a competitive appearance for that nation or if they want to experience international football at the end of their careers. The decisions made by both Jack Grealish and Declan Rice were analysed in the debate.

I think the rules as they stand are fine. If it is a friendly then you can still play for another country but if you play an official match then it's done. Sensible and no need for change.
How there is so much interest in this plank of wood in Declan Rice I do not knowā¦ā¦ Grealish is another oneā¦.. so overratedā¦.
Neither backed themselves
The English media definitely have it in for Rice and Grealish.
everyone knows Rice is a traitor Ireland – England, Chelsea – West Ham – Arsenal
Declan Rice with his southern English accent and Grealish with his brummie English accent.
Agree with Goldstein
Jesus. Goldstein is such a spoon
If u agree with rice and goldstein ur not to netrusted or a jew
Rats
Andy Zidane? Zidane isn't a French name lol
Stop talking about this and just go lose to them already
That is the first and only time Iāve ever agreed with Darren Bent.
Martin and keane are to blame. Back in the day charlton would never have let it happen but keane and martin were maybe doin the english a favour.
Talksport take note
After Jim white and Jordan show
Next should
Darren's Bent and co show …. that my rankings
When players sign their first professional contract they should declare their nationality.
None of this debate relates in any way to these 2 players, as Ireland never dropped them, they left, so I'm not sure why they are debating this scenario for the whole video…even to the point of French Wives!!
Imagine how good Jamaica wouldāve been had John Barnes played for his home country.
Ryan Giggs was an England Schoolboy.
So in accordance to the collective tantrum that the Irish are having over Rice and Grealish we should scream and shout and call Giggs a traitor. After all, he for declared his allegiance to the Welsh dragon after wearing the Three Lionsš
Let everybody play for any countryā¦..what a knob Goldstein
You donāt choose nationalityā¦ you are what you areā¦ you can come from different backgrounds through family. But that person will identify with 1 of those nations moreā¦ I think all players should have to identify their nation when they sign their first pro contract. Thatās your country. You shouldnāt be able to see which suits you best and go Iām not Irish now Iām English. No you are what are you. Choose 1, thatās your 1 it doesnāt change. That decision should be made miles before they are selected so you know the decision is genuine.
The head of the Army council for lRA in the 1970s was born and raised in England but he fought for Ireland as his mother was Irish
If rice wasnt good enough to play for england,he would still be playing for ireland.
Agree with bent here, as an Irishman I have no issue with rice or grealish playing for England atall, grealish was only youth level so dosnt even matter, but for rice three senior caps and to only use us as a stepping stone is just ratty, he is English born and bread understood, but donāt come to us cause you think your not good enough and the second you are just leg it
I think opposing players say to him to rile him up in big games,
Turncoat is the correct term
Rice was definitely Irish
It used to be that you could only play for a country that you were born in or where your parents were from. The change to allow grandparents was unnecessary. Should just change it back so players like Rice and Grealish can't take caps and spots away from those Irish players.
Goldstein has the same role as Jim White and Adrian Durham just to talk shite to create a conversation
With that logic , haaland is now English
