Olympic football

[lamby]

Building on the club or country theme will you support the GB team at the Games or have no interest. Do you think a GB team is a good idea?
Speaking personally I can't get very excited at the prospect although I suppose if a Saints player is involved I might follow it all a bit more closely.

Views.

I like football being in The Games and will support GB. As the Olympics is in London, I would hope we had representation in most sports.

If they stick a token or any other sort of Scot in the team then no thanks.

 

[Qwerty]

I'm looking forward to it and will probably try and pick up some tickets when the fixtures are announced.

 

[Jack H]

For some reason i think I'm going I be quite interested in team gb football, but maybe that's just the power of the Olympics?

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

I'm not a cynic..love the Olympics and hope we stage the best yet.

What about Rhodes? Most of the better strikers under 23 will already be in Poland/Ukraine with England.

I'll support them during the olympics. England u23s with Bale, Ramsey and Rhodes should be interesting.

Bale is eager to play, but will the Welsh FA let him?

We could get quite a good team playing for team GB.

I don't normally give two hoots about the Olympics, but with them being in London this year and a GB football team my mind is changing and am quite looking forward to the event

i am rather looking forward to the football in the Olympics , i think the team will make a refreshing change to the usual rubbish we have to put up with from the England team .

 

[Schrodinger's Cat]

What is the point of a Team GB football team, when 2 of the member countries that make up GB do nothing but talk about wanting to be independent so don't really support it anyway? Given a choice, I'd sooner watch the ladies beach volleyball.

I hope Oxlade-Chamberlain plays in the Olympics instead of sitting on the bench at the Euros. I heard that they will not be picking any players from the Euro 2012 squad for the GB team so he won't be able to play in both.

 

[SaintJabie]

I'd happily cheer on a team GB - and, hopefully it'll include Bale.

 

[angleseysaint]

Bale is eager to play, but will the Welsh FA let him?

Wales FA are not 'encouraging' him to play, but are unlikely to put a ban on him.

I would have thought professionals would actually be itching to play at the Olympics. It's likely to be a rare occasion.

 

[Joe!]

It's the only part of the Olympics I care about.
