One month and a bit more from now it's time for the olympics. Spain qualified and i am suprised noone has even mentioned that, only four teams qualify from Europe!

Does anyone know the probable players that will play there?

Some say its U-23 or U-21 so lets try and make a list for players can be in the team this year..

GK:
Cassilas

D:
Sergio of Celta
Gaspar and Capdevilla in Atletico right now

M:
Gerard
Farinos


A:
Jose Mari
Angulo
Raul Tamudo

Theses should form the core of the team, which are the rest?
Anyone has checked out the spanish talents from lower diviosions?

I don't like the idea of Iker playing in the Olympics much. Maybe this will be Cesar's time to shine in the interim? (I hope he doesn't do to Iker what Iker did to Illgner!)

Hehe, for me it doesnt matter who is first keeper- as long as he is good...

point well taken

Noone seems to be interseted in this topic. Maybe i should start a new topic called "Olympics, who cares?"

Seriously. Doesnt anyone have some football passion over for this tournament?

 

[Guest]

Honestly, I've always viewed olympic competitions are second rate for football (for better or worse). I also admit to not knowing much about Spain's sub-21 team.

I'm sure I'll be more interested come August!

HEy the Olypmics are awesome, but not for soccer. I can't wit. But do you guys know these "summer" olympics will be taking place in Australias winter? Who thought of that!?

Winning gold at the Olympics is much greater than winning the European Championships

 

[hala]

Oh Driver! This was a good one indeed!!!

I somehow tend to disagree... For a footballer it's much more prestigous to win the World Cup, but as a human getting a Olympic Gold is more important. So to accomplich yourself in football you win the first, and to be succesful in life opverall the Olympic Gold!

 

[Micke]

That was not bad Labas!

Spains Squad!

Can anyone come up with a official squad for the olympics? When will they select the team?
My prediction for the whole tournanament is that Brazil will play around with every team, no team can match Brazil in the world at this level.
