Bellamy was one of their better players last season

Robbie Savage would look world class in the MLS

Kazanne · 29-06-2012, 04:29 PM

Why should Becks be picked,he lives in America now

Novo · 29-06-2012, 04:30 PM

23 assists in 41 games for Becks since the start of 2011.. he's still got it

Because he was one of the reasons we got the Olympics in the first place.

Pretty much every international team would be screwed if that was the selection policy

King Gizzard · 29-06-2012, 04:45 PM

Wish we actually took this serious like the South Americans

Not all this romantic disney fairytale with Becks captaining the side

Novo · 29-06-2012, 04:54 PM

Now that you mention it Becks leading the team out as captain with this song playing as they are walking out onto that famous Wembley pitch would be amazing

Youtube video

And then Becks giving a nod to Giggs in the tunnel and whispering " Lets do a 99 again "

Locke. · 29-06-2012, 05:15 PM

Uruguay are seriously going to demolish us anyway

Samuel. · 29-06-2012, 05:22 PM

I would have had Becks over Giggs.

Both Richards and Bellamy make sense.

King Gizzard · 30-06-2012, 12:26 AM

Bale's pulled out with injury

Brother Leon · 30-06-2012, 12:35 AM

Becks would probably of been the only reason I actually watch the Olympics other than Bolt and the 100m.

Ahh well.

Giggs
Beckham
Scholes

The team will win

King Gizzard · 30-06-2012, 12:35 AM

Don't be silly there's still the basketball

and Neymar

Going to see England vs Brazil

Brother Leon · 30-06-2012, 12:38 AM

Oh yeah, the basketball. Fair enough.

Olympics Football just seems "meh" to me. Dunno why. Saying that I do brag about Nigeria and their olympics win and that was in 96 lol.

MTVN · 30-06-2012, 12:42 AM

When will darts become an Olympic sport

King Gizzard · 30-06-2012, 12:43 AM

When The Mockinator says so

King Gizzard · 30-06-2012, 12:43 AM

I don't like sports like football and basketball being an olympic sport

Only sports where the olympics is the pinnacle should be allowed

There will be no Scottish or Northern Irish players in the men's British Olympic football squad when it is announced on Monday.

BBC Scotland has learned that manager Stuart Pearce will list 18 players from England and Wales.

Fifteen of the squad must be under 23, with Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy and Micah Richards the three permitted overage players.

None of the England players at Euro 2012 were considered.

Four reserve players will also be put on stand-by, should anyone withdraw from the squad.

There were Scots, including Steven Fletcher and Barry Bannan, on Pearce's shortlist of 35 players.

The Scottish Football Association, along with their Northern Irish and Welsh counterparts, have taken no direct involvement with Team GB and have made it clear they do not want their players involved for fear of risking their countries' separate identities in world football.

But they cannot block players from participating.

The women's football squad was named earlier this week , with Scottish duo Ifeoma Dieke and Kim Little the only non-English players selected.

The men's Team GB were drawn in Group A at London 2012 alongside Senegal, Uruguay and United Arab Emirates.

They begin their Olympic campaign against Senegal at Old Trafford on 26 July before facing the United Arab Emirates at Wembley on 29 July, and Uruguay at the Millennium Stadium on 1 August.

not very GB...
