Default 2008 Beijing Olympic Thread

Surprised a thread for this does not yet exist. All 16 teams have qualified, and I think the draw is weeks away. Should be a great tournament. The teams are

Serbia, Belgium, Italy, Holland
Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon
China, S Korea, Japan, Australia
Brazil, Argentina
USA, Honduras
New Zealand

Anybody know which 3 overage players will be comming for each country ?

This time, fancy teams like Spain or Paraguay aren't here.
Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Italy, Cameroon, Korea.
Only these teams are useful and the rest are not worth mentioning it.

Probably but they aren't overage, the 3 overage replacements would be Gabriel Milito, Cambiasso and Cruz.

Italy coach Casiraghi said he doesn't want to use the 3 overage players, he just wants to bring the U21 side.

It may depend on Barça, but he's on the 56 players pre-selection that Batista gave away some weeks ago.

We've seen some players celebrate goals with a saying/slogan on a shirt underneath their kit. Could a player/ team get in trouble for scoring a goal and then flashing a Free Tibet shirt to the masses? I apologize for the political reference, but...........
