This is starting to look like the one Olympic event I might find interesting. It's actually a sport in which people take interest, politics will be at a minimum, China will be s**te, and there are a bunch of big name players aiming to turn out for it...

So you mean China are going to win, thanks to the glorious motherland's visionary and benevolent leadership?

Must put some money on.

Damn French propaganda aiming to throw mud at our glorious China! Let's start boycotting on our local LV stores.

Even if the Chinese team loses it is a victory because they have made such great strides down the pitch of international development and they play a free flowing version of football with freedom of abstract expressionism for all players!

It's true. Look here...

About the time they invented pizza and discovered America wasn't it?

and that's why they will forever be a World power, starting from the next World Cup which they will win effortlessly by beating Andorra in the final 6-0

Don't underestimate Andorra - there are no easy games in international football these days and they never signed up to the Ottawa Treaty to ban land mines....

no easy games at all, especially when teams from countries that didn't exist when I was a lad are concerned

Atleast England will have something to play for in the Summer. Or did they not qualify for this either?

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

At least in this case they can say they weren't trying. Football politics dictates that they won't enter a combined (Eng/Sco/Wal/NIr) team for the Olympics, lest they be forced to do the same in FIFA/UEFA competitions.

Group A looks tasty. Group C? Let's hope the Belgians don't mess up.
