Anyone going to watch any of the games?
How come there's no Netherlands , Italian or German team?
Because all 3 of them have a realistic chance of winning a proper tournament, so they wouldn't waste their time with this drivel.How come there's no Netherlands , Italian or German team?
Will you be more enthusiastic for the olympic womans football ?

Qualifying info is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_2012_... there were effectively six qualification groups but based on the Olympic rules of having only a certain number of over 25 year old players available, many of the U21/U23 championships were the qualification rounds, which Spain won and Italy or Germany failed to qualify .... but you knew all that right?
Smaller countries in Oceania etc had their own Olympic specific tournaments.TwigtheWonderkid said:

So you know Spain are the winners of the last 2 proper tournaments. Do you know who the last 2 Olympic champs are, without looking it up on the internet. Apparently, Argentina won in 2008. I say apparently as I have no recolection of it, and only heard it on telly the other day. I ain't got the foggiest clue who won in in 2004, or 2000, or any other year. I don't want to know anyway, it's meaningless nonsense.Spain are in the olympics and won the 2010 world cup and euro 2008, Uruguay were in the world cup 3rd place play off , so not like there s
t teams is it?If Spain want to give a run out to a few borderline youngsters and a few over the hill has beens who haven't made the Euros, then good for them. I just don't care. And I bet the Spanish fans don't care either.
Apparently Beckham and Giggs are keen to play in Team GB. f
k me, it's Soccer Aid all over again. I wonder if the blokes from JLS are free. Serously, it's a bad joke. If England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales had any chance of winning a proper tournament, or had won one in living memory, no one would give a rats behind about Olympic football. The fact that some people are getting genuinely excited over it shows just how far we've fallen as a serious footballing nation.
