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.

Scotland wants independence as it is so yes, there may be speculation but there's speculation that the world is going to end in 2020.

Even still, I don't know because I think all British players are terrible.

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

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.

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.

The GB squad should just be the England U-21s. It's not like it's going to affect club football in England.

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)

edit: oh someone said it...

Hmm I don't know. I am sure Theo Walcott will be in the team. Won't the world in 2012?
