I don't know why we should be interested in a player getting picked for a country that any Premiership player of the appropriate nationality gets picked for automatically.
congrats Ben....anytime a player is selected for his country it is an accomplishment and should not be belittled. thats the problem with a lot of "fans" these days. they don't know support. I just hope Ben comes through uninjured. last thing we need is him aggrevating his injury. we're too short at the back!!
.............because he is a City player. Enough said.
