the whole unified great britain team thing is interesting, with players being selected from scotland, ireland and whales along with england. team doesn't look all that strong (as numbskull said, clubs must have stepped in to keep guys like bale out). looking at the roster, leaving beckham off is a bit more puzzling that i originally thought. looks like giggs got the nod over him. giggs is better at this point, but both is best outside, where gb has more young talent than inside. beckham probably could have helped more that him.
