eFestivals Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 we may not have their glory, but we will never have their shame That's very true. After all, Everton would first have to reach a final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Olympic squad's been decided. Bellamy, Giggs and Micah for the older players. Not got the list of younger ones yet. Sensible choices I guess, a striker, midfielder and defender. Be interesting who the first choice keeper is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think it's good that they haven't. Surprising, but he's not in the best 3 British players over 23 that didn't go to the Euros. Whether the ones picked are is debatable, but I'd say Chris Brunt should have been ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Favoring wales much!! That said if your going for a big name over 23 not at the euros, Giggs is by far the better player to have for the midfield now days. Not sure I would have picked Bellamy either...

pink_triangle Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If your going to pick a player with a little view to sentiment then i think better Giggs who has never played in an international tournament than Beckham who ha splayed in several and been pretty average in most.

kaosmark2 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would of thought Butland but Pearce has said everyone in the England squad wouldn't go so I'm guessing Jason Steele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have to agree with Phil Mcnulty: "Cannot agree with those who believe Beckham should be rewarded for bring Games to London otherwise Lord Coe would be running 1,500 metres." great analogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strummer77 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Personally I'd have had no problem with Beckham in it. Would have been a decent role model for the young'uns, rewarded him for his work on the bid, shifted the loads of extra tickets and its not like one player would have made a lot of difference. I don't like overly sentimental decisions, but I would have in this case been fine with it. Why Richards though? He refused his England place, shouldn't be rewarding him with this.

LondonTom Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) To be fair though, if your on standby its highly unlikely your going even be brought on as a sub! So can understand from that sort of view why he might not want to be on standby. Its not like he was called up to the main squad.
