Leicesterpool Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Ryan Giggs you're having a laugh! Hang on a minute I'm sure sometime last year, Ryan Giggs said he'd only play for the GB team if David was involved what's happened to that?
Tielemans63 Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Ryan Giggs you're having a laugh! Hang on a minute I'm sure sometime last year, Ryan Giggs said he'd only play for the GB team if David was involved what's happened to that? He's probably a better player than Beckham is now. Giggs still plays most weeks for a top side - Becks has had his injuries too.
Leicesterpool Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 He's probably a better player than Beckham is now. Giggs still plays most weeks for a top side - Becks has had his injuries too. Giggs is past it, personally I think Beckham would have been a better bet than him.
Mack Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Glad Beckham and the Circus sideshow that would have followed the GB team as a result has been put to bed. Pearce obviously wants to do well rather than just create hype.
Bert Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Giggs is only going because he's never played in a major European tournament.
General Smuts Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Is there any confirmation anywhere of the 35 player initial squad?
Jon the Hat Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Shame. Becks would have brought a touch of glamour to what is otherwise going to be shit.
Guest MattP Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 I'm sorry but I think it's an utter disgrace that Beckham isn't in the team, he's probably one of the few people who are proud to play for their country. Hope there's a players revolt "if David isn't in the team, then we don't play" Do you want to give out prizes or try to win it? I'm with Mack, glad the Beckham circus has FINALLY been put to bed.
Captain... Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 The romantic in me would love to have seen Beckham and Giggs together with Scholes as the third fogey, the realist in me says if we want to win the tournament neither should really be there. Don't think we stand a chance to be honest, with Brazilian wonderkids and Spain's next generation of pass masters (are they there), we will do well to make the quarters with our brand of good honest football.
Corky Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 I'm sorry but I think it's an utter disgrace that Beckham isn't in the team, he's probably one of the few people who are proud to play for their country. Hope there's a players revolt "if David isn't in the team, then we don't play" Seriously? Refuse to play because one person isn't in the squad?
21st Century Fox Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 I'm sorry but I think it's an utter disgrace that Beckham isn't in the team, he's probably one of the few people who are proud to play for their country. Hope there's a players revolt "if David isn't in the team, then we don't play" Best way to start a tournament, player mutiny. It's worked wonders for France so far.
davieG Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 I'm sorry but I think it's an utter disgrace that Beckham isn't in the team, he's probably one of the few people who are proud to play for their country. Hope there's a players revolt "if David isn't in the team, then we don't play" Sorry but that is utter gibberish just because he's a media whore and let's face it being in this team would boost his personal income doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of youngsters who'd give anything to be part of this and would love to represent their country..
Webbo Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 I'm glad he's not in. You could only justify his inclusion on box office takings rather than playing the best team. Giggs is still playing at the highest level and it's good to get a Welshman in the team.
Manwell Pablo Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 It's a guarantee that David Beckham will take one of the overage slots. The Olympics will be viewed as the perfect swansong to his career. Bang on the money as always.
Bert Posted 28 June 2012 Posted 28 June 2012 Is there any confirmation anywhere of the 35 player initial squad? Confirmed next week.
AyewJoking Posted 29 June 2012 Posted 29 June 2012 Missed a trick by not including Beckham, would have sold a load of merchandise and made money which is what the London Olympics is really about.
MrSpaM Posted 29 June 2012 Posted 29 June 2012 Giggs is a better choice footballing wise, we would actually like to win this competition if we can. If had to pick between Beckham or Giggs signing for Leicester, itd be Giggs all day
Jaspa Posted 29 June 2012 Posted 29 June 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/18653453 No Scots, or Northern Irish in the Football squad
Guest MattP Posted 29 June 2012 Posted 29 June 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...ympics/18653453 No Scots, or Northern Irish in the Football squad and in other news no white guys got selected for the 100 metre team....
