Seems a bit excessive to me.
Okay, the season has been shorter than usual so players have had to play more regularly. But the Euro 2020 schedule is no different to normal.
Even 23 men squads for a maximum 7 games leaves a number of players only appearing in a dead rubber.
However, on the flip side, it is potentially good news for the likes of Trent Alexander Arnold, Reece James, Kieran Trippier, Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Danny Ings and Jadon Sancho who failed to make some peoples 23s.
Who do you think will still miss out?

Olympic football is a lot bigger for fans, and players, of nations that actually compete in it.

Andy Murray winning Olympic gold in London was one of the greatest things ever. Smashing that smug priiiick Federer when commoners were allowed into centre court instead of just tory Federer fans at Wimbledon.

that was of course a "special case"
that was a home olympics where a home player played at wimbledon and won there (again) and there were year upon years of no hopers at the main real Wimbledon tournament.
IMO 2012 was special for the country and many sports got a brief special bounce from it. IT didn't make football any more exciting here.
with respect to tennis IMO people don't talk Olympics they talk grand slam.
If you are talking 100m its Olympics and worlds.
same for basketball as well btw. remember charles barkely lying on his back mouthing off about not wanting to be there lol
if the olympics is a senior tournament make it one, if its an u23 then make it one. why send mo salah for egypt just for show?
As i said i hope southgate does us a massive favour and leaves all ou r players home for euros and hopefully holland leve vvd alone. He should be in preseason day 1 buildin gup 2 months of fitness not hanging round not playing for netherlands and missing 6 weeks of his preseason.
mo salah should not even be considering going to an olympics

They even took the games from Dublin

Tell me about it although that was the governments fault.

They are right to say no at this point in time, they went wrong before christmas, opening up the country so everyone could get out and spread the virus resulting in the 3rd fecking wave. Longest rolling lockdown in Europe. Fecking priiicks should have listened to the advice.
Now they are careful not to make the same mistake twice.

Why shouldn't they send them to Russia? They are a proud football loving nation and they did an impeccable job of hosting the world cup. Some said it was the best world cup for decades.
