Craig Bellamy has let slip that he is reportedly one of the over 23 players who is being included in Stuart Pearces Team GB side. William Hill are now speculating who the others will be, making David Beckham and Ryan Giggs the two favourites. Beckham, who was so instrumental in getting the Games to London, is 1/6 to be included in the 18 man squad while Giggs is 4/7. Other names believed to be under consideration are Joe Cole (9/4), Steven Fletcher (6/1) and Chris Brunt (4/1).

With a combined age of 75, it will take an Olympian effort for Giggs and Beckham to play every minute of every game in London this summer, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. But you dont win gold medals with just effort and there is no doubting that the pair could well make the difference in London.

Craig Bellamy is 100/1 to win this years Sports Personality of the Year.

To be in the GB Olympic squad:

Beckham: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Giggs: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no
Joe Cole: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no

Beckham In Pearces 80 For London…1/2 To Start First Game

Stuart Pearce has reportedly whittled down his Team GB shortlist to a mere 80 players and William Hill think that David Beckham, still in the list, has a great chance of making it, offering 1/10 he joins up with the squad and 1/2 he starts the first game. Despite the Welsh, Irish and Scottish FAs all being against the move, Gareth Bale is 1/16 to join the squad and 1/3 to start the first game.

David Beckham was instrumental in the push to get the Olympics onto British soil and it would be an opportunity for him to sign off on a high, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Team GB are the 5/1 third favourites to win the tournament, with Brazil the 15/8 favourites and Spain 9/4.

David Beckham: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no

The draw for the womens and mens Olympic football was made on Tuesday, with differing fortunes for both GB sides. With the GB women having a relatively tough draw, they are 11/4 to win their group with William Hill but 16/1 to win the competition behind USA (11/4), Brazil (3/1), Japan (3/1), France (11/2) and Sweden (10/1).

The GB men on the other hand have an easier passage to get through to the knock out stages and GB are 10/11 to win their group and 5/1 third favourites to win the tournament behind Brazil (15/8) and Spain (9/4).

The men head into the tournament as third favourites despite the fact that nobody knows who will be in their squad, while the loss of Kelly Smith looks to have hampered the womens chances, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
