Hang on, if there's footy in the Olympics why aren't we in it?
 
As above really, why isn't there a GB team in the olympic football?

gljam 15 August 2004 09:05 PM

something to do with the fact that we normally compete as England, Scotland, Wales etc, if we were to compete as GB i think it affects our standing in UEFA or is against UEFA rules??

something along those lines anyway....

Also - why is boxing the only sport that professionals can't compete in, in the olympics ?

Something to do with the fact that we don't have a British FA, probably linked to what gljam is saying.

lightning101 16 August 2004 10:55 AM

Oh and why no womens boxing ?

unclebuck 16 August 2004 11:03 AM

who cares? nobody in Greece seems to judging by the virtually empty stadiums.

TelBoy 16 August 2004 11:04 AM

Nobody cares who the Olympic football winners are. Makes me wonder why they bother.

English FA are only good at the Synchronised Shagging event, anyway.

Leslie 17 August 2004 07:41 AM

Are they actually able to get that together then Brendan?
