I would question his mentality if he refuses to play for his country just because of the coach.

If anybody's mentality needs to come into question, it is Steve McNamara's.
It is highly unlikely that Atkins would want to play for England just because McNamara is the coach, no matter how utterly clueless and useless he is.

But you acknowledge that Chase didn't really want to play for England yet use it a as a reason for Atkins omission!

Your argument would hold up if Tony Soprano was the one selecting Chase for England (and the one not selecting Atkins). Otherwise it doesn't really make sense.
If MacNamara thinks Chase wants to play for England and thinks Atkins doesn't, then it doesn't matter what the Rt. Hon. Mr Soprano thinks. He is merely speculating as to the possible reasons behind Atkins' non-inclusion.

I am neither McNamara or Chase and the two circumstances are very different.
Not that I agree with Chase being picked for England.

Why? Chase didn't want to play for England because it didn't suit and Atkins likewise.

Eddie embarrassing himself referring to us as 'possible champions elect' and I wish Stevo wouldn't keep calling Burrow 'beep beep'. Kn0b!
