Beckham Olympics

Well perhaps the first own goal of the Olympics. I think even the most ardent anti Beckhamite would recognise he probably deserves a place as an over age player in the Olympic squad. But we seem to have the misconception that we want to actually win at football anyway. It is one of those sports that should never be in the Olympics, and we have just demonstrated in Euro 2012 that we are nothing more than also rans...

So why not select Beckham, he has a world wide brand that would attract interest and is still serious about playing. It's not an event we are expecting to win, and perhaps it would help shift a few tickets.
