Ok so there's currently speculation over whether there will be a British football team at the 2012 olympics. If there was one... who would you choose? Bear in mind that it is in 4 years time and that the home nations are England, Scotland, Wales and NI.
This is the starting 11 that the Daily Mail chose:
Craig Gordon
Chris Gunter
Gareth Bale
James Tomkins
Micah Richards
Josh Paul Kissock
Chris Curran
Aaron Ramsey
John Fleck
Wayne Rooney
Theo Walcott
Who would you choose?
There isn't going to be a GB football team, AFAIK.
As I said, there is speculation...Quote:

I don't know many Scottish/Welsh/Northen Irish players... Lol.
So I can't really make a team but players that I would include would be...
Ben Foster
Micah Richards
Ashley Young
Gabby Agbonlahor
Theo Walcott
Wayne Rooney
David Bentley (even though I dislike him)
Gareth Bale
Aaron Ramsey
its good we've got a team in the 2012 footy now, but how many english players from the prem do you actually think will take part?
They cant have Team gb becase then they would expect us to play in world cups and the euros aswell as Team GB.
If i had to choose
Hart
Bale
Ferdianad
Terry
Gunter
Ramsey
Owen Hargreaves
Miller
Duff
Healy
Walcott
Manger = Steve copell or Gareth Southgate .
Plus if we make it to Poland and Urkraine. ( euro 2012) I doubt the players want to player 2 tourments in one peroid.
Hart
Gareth Bale
Micah Richards
John Terry
Ashley Cole
Aaron Ramsey
Steven Gerrard
Tom Huddlestone
Theo Walcott
Wayne Rooney
Craig Lindfield / Giles Barnes
Your saying all these players but you have to bear in mind that some will be over 23 by the time 2012 comes.
You can have 3 players over 23 in the squad ;)
there used to be a GB squad AGES ago in like the 50s and that was very succesful, they should do it :)
Yes, but they've chosen them already and I'm saying that some under-23s will be older than 23 when it comes.Quote:

Ah good point, can't you only have three players who are born after Jan 1st 1989 or something? (by the time 2012 comes by)Quote:
