Giggs in Britain's Olympic team

AFP, London
British Olympic football coach Stuart Pearce said no manager "picks on sentiment" as he explained why David Beckham had been left out of his squad for the London 2012 Games.
Pearce unveiled his 18-man squad Monday with veteran Manchester United midfielder
Ryan Giggs, who played alongside Beckham when they were both making their way in football at Old Trafford, Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy and Manchester City defender Micah Richards occupying the three over-age places in an 18-man squad where the other players are under 23.
" I have a vast amount of respect for David and what he has done to bring the Olympics here," said former England defender Pearce.
But he added: "I have a duty of care to everyone to pick in my mind the best squad. I don't think there's a football manager around who picks on sentiment."
Pearce named a squad containing 13 players from England and five from Wales. That meant there were no Scottish or Northern Irish players selected.
Football officials in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales had all expressed concerns about their players participating in the Olympics, fearing it could signal the start of their demise as independent football nations.
But Pearce said of his squad: "They are individuals that are all Olympians. There are no nationalities there in my eyes."
Tottenham and Wales winger Gareth Bale was not considered due to injury.
