Pearce as manager, Giggs as captain. There's no way that I am supporting that team.
Olympic football is all about the women's game anyway.
It's gotten so crazy that they've so many games they had to start before the opening ceremony. The Olympics are all about weird sports like athletics, gymnastic and basketball that you'd normally never dream of giving a moment of your precious time to, but might have a look just 'cos it's on.
"Over 450 million people play basketball on competition and grassroots level in 2007" "Basketball has even replaced football as the most popular sport in areas like Asia and Australia and is on the way to surpassing football worldwide".

There is no point to football during the Olympics.
When theres nothing better to watch, there is a point to it

I live in Australia Rex, and am a regular visitor to SE Asia and it hasn't really. As I say- weird sport for physically abnormal freaks.
As with so many things Gus, I don't understand what is going on in that brain of yours. And I say that with no disrespect at all!
Aww I'm just pulling your leg Rex, I know you like basketball.
Women- Fra 0 PKR 0 decent standard, plenty of challenges, but the bloody ref keeps blowing. Both keepers are giving it the big boot which is refreshing, something that is getting rare in the mens game.
I have 15 olympic channels here and they don't show the womans soccer. Ridiculous
I have it all...

Thats a pity, obviously they lack a bit of power and strength but their technique is good.
And they bring the pretty...
Well why should the girls have all the fun, perving at Arteta and Giroud?
Why isn't Emirates Stadium involved in Olympics btw?
Remember reading that they didn't want more than one football stadium in each city. 'Spread the games' or something.
Yeah, and then nobody wanted to go and they had to withdraw 500k tickets. Genius.
Neymar just made an incredible assist. This Brazil team is brilliant.
It may sound cliche but Neymar is one of those footballers who is worth the entry price. One of those rare footballers who can entertain and be effective at the same time. It think he'll hit Ronaldinho like hieghts and keep going. Special talent.
Oscar is really something special
