Will there be a great Britain team

As the title says will there be a great Britain team when the olympics come round on the game because there will be one in the 2012 olympics irl.

The GBR team in the Olympics is currently planned to be the England team just playing under a different name, as far as I'm aware.

Good question, in relation to FM11 though, so - SI?

I asked that a few weeks back and i didnt get good feedback either

clearly not as it's an u23 tournament

clearly not as it's an u23 tournament

If that is the case it will be England U23's + Gareth Bale then

If that is the case it will be England U23's + Gareth Bale then

it's an under 23 tournament with 2 players allowed over the age of 23..... i think unless it's changed from previous olympics

Won't include Bale as it will only be English players.

Scotland, Ireland and Wales have all said that they do not wish for their players to participate in a GB team because they feel it would undermine their seperate football associations. They have however said that they will not stand in England's way of forming a team for the 2012 games though it will still be known as Team Great Britain but only consist of English players. There was a news article somewhere but i can't find it right now but what i've just said is pretty much the official statement in so many words if i remember correctly.

I think you'd have to ask what players from N.i, Wales & Scotland would even get into a GB, Maybe Gareth Bale & Aaron Ramsay because they are U23 Johnny Evans possibly too, but i can see it being a largely England dominated squad

True. Perhaps the reason they don't want to be associated with it is because not many of their players would get in ahead of the English players meaning it could be damaging their asssociations and their reputation.

John Fleck, Danny Wilson, David Wotherspoon, David Templton, probably the only good Scottish youth stars just now, don't think scotland want it.

This looks likely to be in the form of an exclusively under-21 England side - a change Fifa is expected to make from the current under-23 (plus three overage players) rule.

So it's being changed for the football teams (soccer) to be under 21's only with no over aged players

Does anybody know who the manager would be? seeing as it's not an England team? Would love to see Sir Alex work his magic on a Great Britain XI

Stuart pearce you would think, he is currently under 21 team boss

God I hope not, that spawn of Charles Hughes Neanderthal is destroying England’s future.

You are an idiot. Wotherspoon and Templeton yet you forget basically at this moment of time most of Motherwell's squad can currently play for an U23 side - and neither of those two would get into our first XI

I believe that Roy Hodgson is already confirmed?

Keep it civil please lads.

Last I heard nothing has been confirmed with regards to this, until it is SI won't just guess. If its confirmed by the last patch it'll be in I'm sure.

I already have an infraction for discussing the merits of football outside of England so I won't say anymore than that.

Say no to Team GB!

a little suggestion here,

Perhaps write an XML code or something that could rename England U21 has Team GB for olympic tournements.

You can already rename teams and would need a new trigger to do it for indivdual compertitions. No expert on this sort of thing but not beyond the relms of possability?
