Bringing on David James up front for city when they were trying to qualify for europe is my favourite Stuart Pearce ‘footballing Decisions’ 😂 😂😂

[@Marklovesdrama]

Yes and they had a striker on the bench.

[@tanta3343]

Giggs too busy smuggling his brother’s wife into his hotel room to watch the ceremony

[@63mckenzie]

Oh, I say!

[@actonman7291]

Ryan Giggs philandering the olympic village.

[@spendover]

Pearce was wrong and out of order to leave Beckham out... and with regard to prioritising the Olympics over the Euros, give over 🤦 Football, Basketball, Tennis and the like aren't taken that seriously.... as a Football fan I can't remember any of the GBs matches at 2012

[@Jalipino_Jay]

I'm sure Gareth will be distraught at the thought of letting Stuart down.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

an incredibly injury prone player with the world in front of him, facing a big new contract at spurs and yet Pearce some how didn't get an inkling that maybe Bale would give this meaningless tournament a miss

[@durthacht]

Pearce always speaks well, with a lot of sense and no ego. I would love to see more of him on the media.

[@AndrewAdigun]

All round good guy Pearcey...just shows how ppl can change for the better.. Great example

[@tonylo6013]

Should have just sent an open invite to who wanted to play in the Olympics. Would have been much easier than approaching people that didn’t want to be there.

[@paulstone3209]

Bale was on the golf course

[@richiestockton]

Stuart needs to understand Gareth is a professional who dedicates his time and energy into his craft on a weekly basis. does the Olympics do Golf tournaments?

[@timphillips9954]

No he is Welsh and it would never have been accepted by his Welsh team mates or the Welsh general public

[@teiloturner2760]

Pushing it ​@@timphillips9954

[@unusedsub3003]

Team GB hound have continued to have a tea in the olympics. It was fun.

[@yhnell18]

Sad that team GB couldn’t agree to put a men’s team together for this Olympics. Sad for the players and the fans.

[@harrisonmckenzie4905]

The problem is that Great Britain is made up of 4 separate nations with 4 different footballing governing bodies which makes it impossible for them to agree on anything also everyone knows all the good players are English so the team would literally be an Olympic version of the England national football team.

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

It would lead to the smaller nations being absorbed by England/anglicised further, a process which most would say has gone too far already. Would you form a super team with France? That's how they feel.

[@matthewmedley8532]

Name one Olympic gold winning football team. Because I can’t think of any. When it comes to Olympics I remember track and field winners and the swimmers. Footballs well down on the list.

[@dabu8701]

@@matthewmedley8532I only remember Brazil 2016 because they made big fuss of neymar being national hero. But you’re right, athletics and other sport is what matters!

[@jbuk4369]

​@@harrisonmckenzie4905Some of the best players in the past came from the other home nations: Giggs, Bale, Best, Law, Dalgleish, Toshack, Rush etc

[@63mckenzie]

I like Stuart's honesty.

[@hamidw4574]

Giggys made the right call, standing around doing nothing is pointless. Say what you want about Giggys but he was the constumate pro

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

I'll say what I like about him and I'll say it to his face

[@supercriceto]

He definitely did a lot of consummating.

[@allydign2749]

Mainly consummated his S-I-L 😂

[@19822andy]

Garbage person. Even in the 90's he was seen at Broad Street in Birmingham burning £50 notes in front of the minimum wage staff and bragging about how money was meaningless to him. That was talked about a lot in Birmingham after he did that but I don't think the press reported it at the time.

[@timphillips9954]

It is difficult to understand for some Englishman that the Scots, N Irish and Welsh believe that the UK is not their country.

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

Yep. Would the English form a super team with France or Germany? Especially if only 1 of their players would get in the squad? That's how the Celtic nations feel. We might be poor teams but at least we have our own team.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

​@@RossKempOnYourMum01surely you should reject many of the English players that decide to switch to Scottish/ Irish national team when they realise they're nowhere near good enough to ever get an England call up. Che Adams etc stinking the place out because his gran happened to be Scottish

[@darrenporter1850]

Ryan was being professional? No.. you just explained he probably didn't want to stand around for 3-4 hours. Something they should actually all do as a team.

[@TORRES999ify]

Viva gareth bale, viva gareth bale . Said he had a bad back ,fk the union jack Viva gareth bale

[@dalek3086]

gareth bale loved by British Olympic fans - and Real Madrid fans Bale insulted his employer Real Madrid - Wales, golf, then Real Madrid and how good was Bale at speaking Spanish ...... one passport , one nation

[@kap7984]

A wise decision by Bale. Pearce would've stuck him in goal

[@Thetruthplsevenifithurts]

We all could of had a great team, it’s a shame GB couldn’t come together, the non picking of David Beckham was a horrific decision, he was playing well enough at the time and the youngsters would of looked up to him, it would of benefited the team massively, Pearce’s squad was shocking, I don’t no how he can say he dropped Beckham for football reasons with that terrible final squad he picked, Pearce didn’t want Beckham out shinning him, he doesn’t like him, his reasons don’t make sense, Beckham should of walked into that squad, that squad was so bad like the manager we had, I felt for Beckham he didn’t deserve that, he was better than most of the midfielders Pearce picked at the time, that GB team was an absolute embarrassment, players, manager alike.

[@psbenoliver]

Couldn’t have said it better. I’ve actually hated Pearce ever since for that decision

[@BadAppleBlues]

@@psbenoliver Surely you mean that you have disliked Pearce rather than hating him?

[@markie1990123]

As a man who played James upfront in a must win to get European football for city I can’t give him any credit as a manager, he was bloody dreadful for us

[@seanmcmahon9964]

Cut 190 to 18, still can't figure how Marvin Sordell made that squad

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

Micah Richards was the worst pick of the lot as he took up one of the 3 over age spots AND was taken as a CB even though he was awful in the centre and was known more as a right back at that time

[@wantagebacon]

Should have picked Beckham like the nation wanted.

[@sambaprince]

Letting Joey Barton bully young players in front of your eyes was never a good decision either

[@Justin-eq7yu]

Pearce should be England manager

[@darren6076]

Really is disappointing we can’t have a gb team at the Olympics.

[@N.F.F.C]

Giggs sneaking off to rod his brother's wife. What a legend

[@robpett7703]

When did Lee mack become a talksport presenter?

[@supercriceto]

True or Lie?!

[@ArmyofLove]

The Olympics should be optional for footballers. Their schedule is packed

[@Zombieturtles]

You could say be bailed out

[@supercriceto]

Wah, wah, waaaaah!

[@Zombieturtles]

Why is he coming up with excuses as if South Korea were an amazing team.

[@oliverdesvaux]

There is a reason Stuart Pearce isn’t managing any decent club nowadays. Look at the Olympics squad he selected for 2012…..

[@mikesmith8729]

Someone let Ben White know its only a disgrace to not represent your country in a tournament the fans care about 😂

[@1972dsrai]

I didn’t know there was a GB team. I thought it wasn’t allowed.

[@andrewkirkland1452]

GB team just doesn't work because of the UKs unique position. If your the host then you have no chance of getting a team bonded into a unit and if they had to qualify you would not be able to get the best players as they would be playing for their national sides. Saw it in 2012 you end up with a mish mash of either decent past it players and the rest b listers who dont really stand a chance of getting caps in the national side. Other countries can use it to blood young players and give them experience with older pros.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

wonder what this "Gareth Bale" player went on to achieve

[@mickeyp1257]

Bale was getting his ears pinned back.

[@PhantomPanda1992]

wonder why giggs went to bed early..

[@leodoherty5304]

The prods in the north are more British than the British!

[@colin7853]

Giggs went to bee early i wonder who with

[@AlexRichie]

Bale only cares about Wales. His one of thouse ppl that hate on the English and want them to lose and so would have never had pared up with them to be in team GB. Simular to when Andy Murray previously said hes not British hes Scottish. Lmaooo we dont need them anyway. All the best talents across all sports in GB are mostly English anyway haaa haaa 😊😊

[@timphillips9954]

One eyed nonsense, no Welshman wants a GB team. We have only one nationality, we are Welsh!

[@pjoseph5950]

🤣🤣

[@SD_BRFC1997]

Dunno why you wouldn’t It’s only your only chance to actually win something

[@des6071]

He’s a lier. London was closed. Business suffered. And if I hear Pearce talk any more about data analysis…..coaches coach. If you need a dossier you’re not very good at it.

[@vinnievegas3765]

He’s got a nerve after what he did against San Marino
