WEAK Great Britain Football Team Chosen

Stuart Pearce has announced the Squad for the Great Britain Football team-from what we know it will be weak.
Normally England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland are kept as separate teams in FIFA competitions but with regards to the Olympics, they are combined. Great Britain used to have a football team between 1900 and 1920 and 1936 and 1972; after 1972 the team was disbanded due to the abolishment of distinction between amateur and professional players. Whereas England has only once won the FIFA World Cup in 1966 and the other nations not amounting to anything in international football, the Great Britain team has won three Olympic golds: 1900,1908 and 1912.
Because the Scottish and Northern Irish teams did not want to be a part of this, only English and Welsh players are part of the team.

The rule with Olympic teams is that only three players may be over 23 years old; the three selected this time were Micah Richards (England), Craig Bellamy (Wales) and Ryan Giggs (Wales).

There are several reasons this squad is weak:

* None of the England players at Euro 2012 were selected "in order to avoid fatigue"
* Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent-all players part of England that did not go to Euro 2012, were not selected.
*David Beckham, arguably the most popular England player and ex-captain and who pioneered as an ambassador for London 2012 and a Great Britain football team, was not selected. This was probably the most shameful acts ever done for a player with few years of international football left; especially when he did not go to Euro 2008 (England did not qualify), 2010 World Cup ( injury) and Euro 2012 (not selected).

Regardless of what happens with the team, at least England did better than expected at Euro 2012; being in a tough group they drew against the French 1-1 but beat host Ukraine 1-0 and beat Sweden the second time in a row (after November 2011) 3-2 and 'picked' the Swedish bogey. England exit Euro 2012 in the Quarter Finals after losing 4-2 to Italy on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

Great Britain's matches scheduled:

20th July 2012: friendly against Brazil
26th July 2012: group game against Senegal
29th July 2012: group game against UAE
1st August 2012: group game against Uruguay
