[johan neeskens]

Netherlands: Roy Makaay, Gerald Sibon.

[Kaka10725]

Brazil: Ronaldinho, Robinho

[Glass Moon]

Brazil: Ronaldinho, Robinho

And Thiago Silva.

[MannyJello]

not so fast, my friends. Barca are preventing Ronaldinho from joining the Olympic squad so long as he remains a Barca player. the club just issued a notice on its official website saying he's expected to show up for training on 14 July. (same thing they did for Messi and Argentina)

Yeah, but Ronnie continues saying that he will play in Beijing. I think that Barça should allow him to play because, if he plays well, he would be revalued and some club might buy him.

[argentine soccer fan]

List will be updated as more squads are announced.

Argentina

M - Juan Roman Riquelme (6/24/1978) - Boca Juniors



Burdisso is out. Inter will not allow him to go.

[Rivaldinho]

How many of these overage players actually have their club's permssion to go to the Olympics? The only one I've heard about is Blackburn's Ryan Nelsen.

[Chuchi]

With the falls of Demichelis, Burdisso, Heinze, Milito y Coloccini; Nicolás Pareja (Anderlecht) will cover that place.

[Excape Goat]

By the Olympics, he won't be a Barce player.... so it is up to his new club.

umm ...... I think that was for the 2000 olympics

[eainterplay]

It was.

Nothing confirmed yet but there are strong indications that McBride and Guzan will be 2 overage players for the US.

[Rivaldinho]

McBride makes sense, but what makes you think that Aston Villa would release their new £3 million goalkeeper?

[Kigai]

Japan is not bringing any overage players to the Olympics.

[Gorando]

Only 2 overage players for Belgium, well yea overage they are only 24 yrs old:rolleyes:

Sepp De Roover (24) (Groningen/Ned)
Maarten Martens (24) (AZ/Ned)
