Does anyone really care about football in the olympics, does it really hold any significance for the top professional players?

It's a medal. For anyone over 23, only 3 of them get in. Because its a one off uk team, it's quite a big thing amongst pros.

I have 4 tickets to the Olympic Football Final (haven't recieved them yet).
But i couldn't care less about the Olympics to be honest.

No you can't have my tickets.

The Olympic building site looks a wee bit more impressive every time I pass it.

However, given I was underwhelmed the first time I saw it, that doesn't say much.
