Euro Fever Olympic gastroenteritis

So we are again at the cro sroads of another disappointing England campaign at a major tournament. With the inevitable analysis of how a nation faired in its attempts to fool itself that this time it will be different but yet with a crystal clear predictability it was ultimately all too familiar. The low expectations had risen just at the perceived minimum requirement of qualifying from a draw that had been quite favorable to the Three Lions. The first of the three other teams in the group hadnt qualified for the previous Fifa World Cup in South Africa and failed to qualify out of Boone Logan Jersey the group stages of the Euros since 2004, the second who it was revealed by manager Laurent Blanc had been hit by the ego bug that affected their World Cup 2010 campaign so badly and the third who were playing in their first Euros due to the fact that they were hosting it round at their gaff. It made for somewhat confusing Yovani Gallardo Jersey change in opinion prior to the painful 120 plus minutes endured against Italy in the quarter Finals and after the refreshing realism that had led to the tournament.But unlike in recent years another opportunity has arisen for the English to join together with the other GB nations in chain pubs and wine bars to cheer as one before they all go off into our smaller groups for the start of the Domestic Football season, for London 2012 has almost arrived. With what has seemed to be the most complicated (and allegedly in some cases political) selection procedures for the various different sports, the Team GB mens football selection proce s seemed a little simpler. With the FAW, SFA and Irish FA objections seemingly no longer an i sue by the way of the respective a sociations would not prevent any player selected from playing and the wrath from managers regarding their pre season preparations currently only a whimper, the man asked Brandon Woodruff Jersey to do the job of managing Team GB had an important aim dont make this look like a bad decision. But now the almost sentimental feeling of Team GB mens football seemed to be conflicting with the views and aims of Stuart Pearce regarding the selection of David Beckham and the non Stuart Pearce influenced injury to Gareth Bale has sucked away any remaining anticipated feeling of emotion out of the entire spectacle. These events and the underwhelming ticket sales have not helped to show GBs seemingly unwillingne s to embrace football as an Olympic sport with each nation having their own reservations about the entire project to add to that. The squad which is due to be announced publically early next week (Monday 2nd July) has been selected in reportedly the Brent Suter Jersey words of the manager to win the tournament .There is a po sibility that with the announcement, coupled with in Englands case the disappointment of the Euro 2012 exit could bring a new wave of interest in the the team. One thing is for certain is that the three over 23 year old players that are likely to line up in the 18 man squad will not have the same commercial appeal of the David Beckham brand. Which might not sit as well with the Olympic commercial identity and that of London 2012 whose idea of bringing the best athletes acro s all sports to one place, also brings nearly every brand name to go with it.In this entire situation there is also the case of what the future holds for Stuart Pearce from this jaunt into the unknown. Having been in charge if only temporarily of three fronts of national football interests up until as recently as early May. It is more than understandable that with a lot of attention on London 2012 that enhancing his management reputation Travis Shaw Jersey could be in the forefront of his mind. That for anyone is surely understandable but denying a footballing icon his swansong in his own country at an Olympics that he helped bring to London might not be so forgivable.
