as much as i dont like the Olympics and dont really think football should be part of it either way (being professional sport), i hope he does well and goes on to do the main England team. i think he'd do a good job.

What sport at the Olympics is not pro any more.
The Olympics football comp i believe is the longest serving national tourn, so not sure on peoples stances on it really.

I hope he goes nowhere the main England team. Whilst he was undoubtedly a very good player for England, as a coach he is a caricature for everything that is wrong with English football. A proponent of the fist pumping, eye bulging, 'they don't like it uppem' style game. Football has moved on.
If you want some proof of why he would be an emphatic failure: just look at how poorly the Under 21s did at the last Championships they were in, also at the last time England promoted someone from the backroom.
I am not worried though, as soon as Great Britain are inevitably passed of the pitch by a youthful Bolivian outfit - people will realise that Stuart Pearce is certainly not the man for the 1st team job.

Irrespective of that, you asked what sports are contested by amateurs at the Olympics.
On another note, am I the only one who finds the fact that you put 'seagulls' at the end of all your posts irrationally irritating?

1000% this. He is my favourite England player of all time but I totally agree with you.

Isn't it just an automatic signature?
Yep thought so
It's a win-win situation. The chances are he'll make a complete pig's ear of it which'll prove that he should be nowhere near the English national side. And as it's the British football team no one will care and we won't have wasted a qualifying campaign for a 'proper' tournament discovering that the ability to sing the national anthem and make the veins on your neck bulge out are NOT essential qualities for an international manager.
Surely you turn it off the same way you turned it on?

The style of play he promotes as U21 manager is pretty lacklustre but at least he knows the players well.
