Seven say no to GB Olympic football team

Seven footballers from across the four home nations have turned down invitations to play in the Team GB Olympic football team.

The greatest objections to the Team GB union have come from the football associations of Scotland and Wales. They are concerned, despite FIFA guarantees, about losing their independent status.

But there looks to be sporadic opposition throughout the home nations, rather than it being concentrated in Cardiff and Glasgow.
