decapitated Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I wonder if something similar happened to Ben White's house which led to him leaving the squad? If a gang of criminals are targeting the England teams houses whilst they are in Qatar then that is terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballers homes get targeted during away matches. Actors homes get targeted when they're away filming. These scumbags will jump on any opportunity. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Horrible stuff, but not unexpected. I'm completely clueless on this, but aren't there any closed, guarded neighbourhoods in London for rich people? Kind of impossible to be a millionaire without protection these days.

It shouldn't have to be, obviously, but the fact that footballers have been targeted this way for years now and still they don't hire security is mental.

Confused Clarity Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 From reports on BBC earlier, he does live on a private housing estate, with it's own private security.

If he'd have had it happen while in training camp and was left out of the final 26, then it'd be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a do or die duel for the fate of the galaxy! His family are without daddy and intruders have been in their home.

So he did. Because he and his family are human beings not robots. How can you be so lacking in basic empathy that you're criticising a guy for wanting to go home and see his family after a really **** experience? And what do you think Sterling's opinion would have been of Southgate if he goes "nah mate, you should stay and sit on the bench in case we need you, **** your family"? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It's obvious he had to go home and see what happened.
