Are we going to field a Uk soccer team in the 2112 Olympics ???

As I understand it, this is most unlikely to happen.

There is a move to try to make it happen and if you believe the media, they have already approach Sir Alec Ferguson to act as Manager of the team. From the same dubious sources it is suggested that he said " NO".

England have always entered teams in the past Olympics but they have stayed true to the original amateur ideals of the Olympics. Of course they don't have a snowball in Hell's chance against the top professional sides.

Another suggested reason why the other UK countries don't support a combined team in the World Cup is that it would probably only contain England players if it was selected purely on ability.

There is some truth in this and I believe that trying to include others in the England side would certainly not strengthen it.

I agree with some of the comments here about the possible way in which the games might go, but again I believe that it shouldn't matter who you get; if you are a great side then you should be able to beat anyone who comes up against you.

Having said that it is nice to get any easy start.
