Probably a stupid question or one that's been covered here already but I was reading an article on Zlatan wanting to be one of Swedens Over 23 players.

Anyone know if Kasper, Shinji and Riyad have been asked?

Only reason for asking is it obviously clashes with most of Pre Season and potentially the opening games

Very doubtful. The football tournament is from 3rd - 20th August. Can't see clubs releasing players then.

They'll have to be some players playing so some will have to be released.

Well it may have been because it was London but Brazil has Thiago Silva, Neymar, Pato, Hulk and Oscar

I would imagine Daniel Iverson may well play at the Olympics, in addition to the U23 each team is allowed 3 overage players, I would imagine most countries would ask players if they fancy it and from there select who they need.

Japan, Algeria and Denmark amongst the qualifiers, can't see any of our lads choosing this and possibly missing out on the Charity Shield and finding themselves out of the team with Champions League coming up.

Even more so Mr Mourinho at Man U if that is who Zlatan joins..

I doubt it, you hardly see any big names in the tournament

 

lol.

 

These were all players who played at London 2012:

 

Suarez. 

Cavani

Thiago Silva

Neymar

Marcelo

De Gea

Azpilicueta

Jordi Alba

Juan Mata

Ryan Giggs

Aaron Ramsey

 

 

I would name more but they weren't 'big' at the time.

I don't know what the criteria are, but the comparison with London is skewed a little. The London games were a couple of weeks earlier (starting July 25 2012) with the final on August 11th.

 

Rio won't conclude until 20th August.

was different because it was in London. I bet you there won't be anymore than three players from the big teams in this one

cos it was London lol?!

 

Beijing had these players:

Messi

Aguero

Mascherano

Riquelme

Roy Makaay

Ronaldinho

 

Looking at those squads there are so many players in that year that are big stars now though!

Mahrez wasn't asked by the FAF

they already gave the list of players without him

their philosophy is to let the players have some rest and prepare well for the new season, and for others to prepare their transfers to other clubs
