    Who would be in your team for the Olympics 2012, as Great Britain so from Scotland, England, N. Ireland and Wales and they have to be under 23 I think.

    Haven't Scotland said they won't supply any players?

    Keeper would hopefully be Forster. Chris Smalling likely to captain I read somewhere.

    Is Hart under 23?

    I heard it was only going to be English, and since I couldn't name any other team in the UK, expect it to be mostly English.

    Hart/Forster
    Simpson/Onouha Smalling Richards Gibbs
    Walcott Wilshere Ramsey Bale
    Johnson
    Carroll

    Best I could do, if I was on the computer and looked at the squads then I could do better but I think that's pretty decent.

    Scotland won't supply players as they don't trust Blatter as far as they could throw him.

    Do they have to be 23 by the time of the Olympics? Onuoha is already 24, think Richards & Simmo will be too old by then too, it's tricky, I had a go but would take ages working it all out.

    Hopefully get Ferguson in there ;)

    I quite like the idea of a GB footie team but only for events like the olympics. It's a shame about Scotland but I can hardly blame them!

    it will be just after the euros so there are likely to be disputes about player playing on both, but as theyre u23 most wont be in euro squad, so key players like wilshere and carroll probs wont be included
