Footie shouldn't even be in the Olympics

Should only include sports where the Olympics is the ultimate prize.

Whereas Olympics gold will always be inferior to winning the World Cup. What does it actuslly mean to win the Olympics? That you chose your overage picks better than other countries?

So personally, will be perfectly happy if we don't enter a team at all for London 2012.
