Not much, mainly because it happened on Britain's greatest ever olympic night. But a medal is a medal so I wanted us to win.augie wrote:Barriecuda wrote:Sturridge went for the stutter-step penalty and got categorically denied by the Korean backup keeper. Poor choice by DS.

GB was looking good on penalties up to that point, but Butland looked completely unconfident throughout. Both keepers not spectacular in truth.
Sad to see GB lose again in such similarly disappointing fashion.
Maybe so but at the same time it wasnt a competition that was supported by the big clubs, the big players or indeed by most footie fans so I wonder how disappointed people will really be

Team GB is a bit like Frankenstein s monster , unloved by all except it's creator and wholly composed of the knackered unwanted parts of other teams.

Re: GB Team - Football
Couldn't think of a more accurate comparison. Scottish and Northern Irish support was always going to be weak to non-existent, the majority of Welsh fans I know are apathetic to a British team at best, strongly opposed at worst and from what I can gauge from English fans there isn't a great deal of interest. Football at the Olympics just doesn't work as a huge spectacle, especially not in the same summer as an international tournament, and especially not when you're trying to force distinct footballing nations together.Herd wrote:Team GB is a bit like Frankenstein s monster , unloved by all except it's creator and wholly composed of the knackered unwanted parts of other teams.![]()
