Olympic football draw

[RedProf]

What's the starting 11 likely to be for GB? Any of ours in it?

[Alex]

Henderson possibly. Id also assume Carroll if he doesn't go to the Euros.

[Chazza]

Kelly?

[Assassin]

Well each federation gets a couple of places, so does the host. The others opt in and qualify I think.

Spain, Brazil, Uraguay, Mexico and GB will be competitive.

So much anger though, its an Olympic event

The Olympics should be track and field. Not every other swinging dick of a sport

Football was introduced to the olympics in 1900, it isn't a new thing.

I know it isnt a new thing. I just think it is ****ing pointless. Olympics is supposed to be an amatuer sporting event (yes i know all the track and field sprots people get paid prize money etc) However, when professionals are turning up for Olympic sports. It just isnt right

Athletics is one sport amongst 25 others.

It should have stayed as the only sport

I like the fact that OP bothers creating a thread on something he thinks is **** and pointless

I like footy at the olympics, but think they should take away the exceptions for the age. Either that or just remove restrictions enterily.

It never was the only sport though!

I'll be going to watch some games in Coventry

Then you need to create a thread about the 'World Athletics Championship' then. That's every year so you will be well happy.
