Ah, my people. So proud. I was supposed to go to some of the football matches next summer -- until my dad decided he was going to retire and sit on his butt at home for the Games. Thanks, dad. Linda makes a good point, though. I read the article and didn't even blink, because I'm so used to hearing about this kind of thing. What will be interesting to see is how the fans actually react when the time comes. Discipline vs collective effervescence, Foucault vs Durkheim ... oh my god, that didn't even make any sense. I'm sorry, it's finals week and I haven't slept for 48 hours. … Ah, my people. So proud.

What's the full story there, Davyd? As for Britain, the Olympics reasoning there is pretty political (and somewhat petty). I'm not sure what the current state of play is for 2012 (or at least, can't remember it this late at night), but you'd think we'd scrape some sort of compromise together for London at least.

Because Home Nations can't talk to each other than it comes to soccer, UK won't be taking part in this tournament and can't see good young talent "Made in UK". On the other note, Canada won't be taking part in this tournament because "Application deadline for coaching job is December 7th" One more thing.
