The Welsh, Scottish and N. Irish Football Associations have decided to stand against any attempt to have a TEAM GB football squad for next year's London Olympics.  Should we now be dismantling the Team GBs that exist within rugby, athletics, rowing, swimming - in fact just about every sport other than football?  Do folk regard this decision by the FAs listed to be short-sighted or an important stand for independence?

I don't see that there's any need for football to be in the Olympics at all!! It HAS its various World and European competitions - it doesn't need to bulldoze into the Olympics.
That said, if it IS included, I'm against a GB Team....I'm not being funny here, but it's a given that the English will take over....Beckham has "volunteered" to be captain?
Seriously? Or do you mean "Coach" as I'm thinking he's a tad old for "captain", but even him putting himself forward smacks of arrogance on his part (shock/horror!!!) I just don't
see a GB Football team working!
