hejh0pp Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 "Young teams were favoured by FIFA and the IOC, and since 1992 male competitors must be under 23 years old, with three over-23 players allowed per squad." From Wikipedia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynergyIso7 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 What I forgot to mention was his status read: Happy to be apart of the U23's squad. OK, thanks for clearing this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koki Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Still I don't think ManUtd would let him go to take part in that unimportant tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Still I don't think ManUtd would let him go to take part in that unimportant tournament. They couldn't legally bloke him from participating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_aLex Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 First season in the Prem with Southampton, i have 4 of my first team players called up for the Olympics... Bit of a bugger when your first 3 games are Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 They couldn't legally bloke him from participating. It's Alex Ferguson. He could legally let Rooney rot on the Bench ala van Nistelrooy if he disobeyed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
