BBC SPORT | Football | Home nations dispute GB 2012 team
The scots, irish and welsh say no the english say yes.
Why not have a Great Britain team for the olympics? Could you imagine it picking the best players from each country to play. Who says it would be the big name players like Rooney, Walcott etc. It would give some of the others a chance to shine. Plus in 5 years time who says they will be still at the top of their game could be someone else.
The scots, irish and welsh are saying no because they think FIFA would say when it came to the world cup that you can play under the Great Britain team no Scotland, Northern Ireland and Welsh teams. But seeing as they have already recognised them as countries with their own football teams for god knows how many years then they cant go back on this can they.
