I'm disappointed he's not been picked , I'm quite sure many more people would of watched just because he's well liked and well known among people who don't normally follow football. As you rightly say he's been an influence for good in football along with other well behaved players over many years but I suppose there are lots of others who equally deserve their chance at the Olympics.. He will be missed though.

I am the only one who is disappointed that David Beckham will not be playing in the Olympic football team. I know he is nearing the end of his playing career but it is not exactly the world cup! Even if he did not play full matches I am sure he would have been an inspiration to the younger players. In recent years he has been a great ambassador for sport and the Olympics and deserves the chance to play. On a more sexist note he is also very pleasant to look at!!
