Stand Or Fall
I wouldn’t have cared less. In fact I’d have turned it down. Now playing no 10 for Brighton I’d have loved that.

Well, a choice between the two - it’s Albion all the way.
But like I say, to compete at the top and be the best, international competition really is where it’s at… it’s not a nationalistic crusade, but being a real, genuine winner… are you telling me, if you were Argentinian, you’d have chosen to stay at home rather than be a part of a World Cup winning squad? I’m not sure I quite believe you, but if you have your reasons - then fair enough.
White though has represented England, so I’d suggest this is a personal thing - letting that cloud judgement and restrict a chance at personal glory really is at odds with training everyday to be the best player he can be… very difficult to understand.
He went home in the middle of the last world cup, didn't he? Maybe it's a psychological thing associated with that.
Maybe the truth throws White under the bus?
For all his tactical issues, Southgate is a decent person.
Nothing to do with Southgate. The media report that BW fell out with Steve Holland.

As Benjamin left the training ground I wiped a tear from my eye and instantly remembered Mother's lemon curd.

Yes, but Gareth says nothing could be further from the truth and he’s not having this urban mythery perpetuated in the ‘media.’
I mean, this stuff really is HIGH drama.
A manager who doesn’t titillate nosey buggers and burn bridges, by keeping things indoors.
Kyle Walker is streets ahead, there’s little loss to England.

I’m inclined to agree…
Still, Ben should recognise the importance of setting a good example to youngsters, and you know… answer the call.

Or someone who doesn't like, maybe has good reason not to like Southgate
My feelings don’t care about your facts stuff Ben White

Didn't Booby Z once say he only saw football as a job and nothing more? maybe its not as uncommon as we think
Bobby Z most certainly did, yes.
Take a straw poll on here. How many of us love our day jobs so much we want to spend even more time doing it?!!!
Depends why they refused. White could be like Vardy (imposter syndrome). Or Sharer (protect the career by avoiding the odd pointless game against professional maimers). Perhaps he needs to be a bit forthcoming with Southgate so it can be put to bed.
