I think its the right decision and solely as a footballer hes been overrated for bordering on 19 years now.

Hang on you said 18 on twitter - make your mind up  Tongue

lol fml
How old we're you 18 or 19 years ago to be coming to this conclusion?

If Beckham was needed to raise the profile of the event then they should have made him manager.

Becks will still score from free kicks, will sitll whip crosses in on a 6 pence onto someones head, but most importantly

Becks will mean that every stadium England play in will be packed out. Richards will done none of these its just a joke.

Such narrow minded thinking by pearce!

Pearce isn't managing the Harlem Globetrotters - what does he care if there's 60,000 or 60 watching the games.

having the backing of home support is going to be key to us all olympics it will more then likely gain us a few extra golds along the way.

This is a competetion we havent entered in donkeys years why is it so key now to care so much about "having defensive cover" Beckham should be in no doubt about it. If he wasent goiing to be in this squad he shouldnt have been named at all in the 35 man squad.

Is there really no player in the GB better than Giggs between the age of 24 & 46, if it's being picked on merit like

He will probably drop out of the international team due to "injury" anyway, like he used to do to Wales.

What a shit decision, the dude has worked his socks of PR wise for the Olympics, its not like we are going to win anyway  Lips Sealed

Prince William worked tirelessly as well cant believe he didn't make the squad.

Lol - that's the argument I used with someone at work.  Like to think Pearce was picking on ability and leave it at that - wouldn't have done his rep much good if he picked Becks for a bit of PR.  I'd imagine he cares a lot about getting that tourno victory on his CV.

Bellamy is a shocker to me. You've got Giggs as one of three over age, you need Bellamy as well?I can understand Beckham not being picked, but its kick in the teeth to the guy who did a lot for the games pre/post being awarded them, and was then put on a shortlist to get picked...



Every team needs a good Bellamy !

Well I, for one, am glad we elected to pick Micah Richards as one of our older players. He's looked every bit the class defender I've always regarded him as. Good to have that bit of experience to kick neymar in the back of the leg when he beats him in the box, through on goal.

We've offered no creativity whatsoever. If only we had a player in the middle who could shoot from distance...

Pretty likely Everton wouldn't release him when he just came back from a major injury.
