Because of the football tournament I suppose. As we all know, the Olympics is a hotbed of football violence

Funnily enough I was just looking for that and couldn't see a date (didn't look that hard though).

I can see a large Wales contingent with the decent young players that they've got coming through (plus of course quite a few England players being ruled out because of the Euro's).

I did find this

Pearce will name his 18-man squad at the end of May with Beckham attempting to convince his former England team-mate to give him one of the three over-age places for London 2012.

why not get someone who's young, fit, good and has played serious football for the last 3 years to play instead of Beckham?

This.

I'm a big fan of Beckham and I don't care for Olympic football but if we are going to enter it then shouldn't we perhaps try and win it?
