Wikipedia…

A compromise was eventually reached between the four associations, whereby a squad of English players only would represent Great Britain.[4] The FAs of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales sent a joint letter to FIFA stating that they would not participate, but that they would not object to England participating alone

I thought Team GB had been given the go ahead– but on the proviso that its only English players?

Im sure i read that somewhere.

good idea but as Mick says it may over shadow all the other sports, after all its the olympics is for them.

I’ve never had any interest in the Football at the Olympics, but If team GB are in then I think it will boost the popularity of it alot! Lets face it, We’ll see the England U21 team with Wales keeper Hennesy, Aaron Ramsey and probably a couple more, very few from Scotland or Northern Ireland. But still… could be a bit of fun, Reminds me of a game i saw when i was younger… a GB select 11 vs Liverpool… Ian Rush swapped teams at half time!
