Im struggling to get excited about team GB today and may not even bother watching. My fear before the tournamanet was it would effectively be England under a different name, well I have heard them called England about 5 or 6 times today and the program calls Joe Allen English, so many are not even changing that!

I think the welsh players deserve to be there and understand why they want to be included, however I wont be wishing them a medal around their neck at the end of the tournament. To me the best way to ensure team GB never happen again is for the team to flop in London which I think is pretty likely. Success will only increase the call for it to be repeated which I think could put us on a dangerous path.

I don't think you can doubt Giggs being selected against any of the English players...He more than deserves it, and I think is a great choice to be Captain.

Bellamy ...maybe but then who do you take instead?

Enjoyed the game, it was ok! Some shit refereeing and shocking goalkeeper distribution on our part, but if we manage to scrape through, I can see them doing ok...going predict a bronze.

Caught the second half and GB were very average but apparently better in the first half. Its hard to see them scoring many goals with the players they have got. Apparently Pearce has been saying team GB should continue at future olympics. To me this isnt thought through, teams qualify through the european under 21 championships, do people want to see the end of the 4 nations under 21 sides? I certainly do not. Also is it just me or is Danny Rose a really poor footballer?

To be fair, he had better than 1 in 2 with an assist 1 in 3 when playing with Nolan behind him for us.

But Wet Spam can have him. We've been linked with a fair few strikers this summer and Carroll doesn't seem the most exciting, or affordable.

Why would either deny it? From liverpools perspective it keeps his name in the paper and possibly encourages others to make a similar bid. From West Hams point it makes the fans think that they really mean business, although it could drive prices up for other targets.
