All that crap about clubs and sports teams not wanting their athletes to play... stop it. The Olympics are all about pride and fun. And I'm sure that the afterparty after you win gold has got to be ridiculous.
Wow, Group B is hilarious. Good luck making it through that, China.
Adriel, remember when the olympics were for amateurs?
Soccer already has it's olympics...it's called the World Cup. Nobody remembers who won the olympics four years ago - it's a subpar competition. Nations send their U-21 squads with a couple of under 23 players. Each nation can only send one player who is older than 23, and that player is not required to go. Plus, the Olympics is not an officially recognized tournament by FIFA or UEFA, and thus there is not time alottment for it, meaning that the players at the olympics will be missing games during their regular season.
If the olympics were about pride and fun they'd keep it as "amateurs only".
