Quote from: itsme So you believe it would be better to play all matches in London?
Agree with Artmo, it is the London Olympics.
Back to the original question (should Football be in the Olympics?), my answer would be No, I don't think "team sports" with more than 4 team members (Cricket, Football, Hockey, Baseball, Net Ball, Basket Ball, Rugby etc) should be part of the Olympics:- there are too many events for the number of days already.
Unless they 'split' the Olympics between 4 or 5 cities (say one on each continent), then have 'team field sport' in one city, Track in a second, swimming in a third, Sailing and canoeing in a fourth and so on.
Then spread the events throughout the Olympic year.
Edit: I noticed the recent YouGov Survey was on the Olympics, was this a question on it?

No because it's not a sport but a business...and a very large one with a huge customer base and making massive profits.

They do this already, the events are called World Championships.
Think you miss the point of the Olympics.

Not all of it by any means. I'm no football fan, but there is huge amateur participation worldwide.
Similarly maybe motor racing should be included in some form? Probably NOT F1 , though it would be an interesting debate.......
And Tennis is in, with many of the worlds top professional players.

You’re probably right. I'm confusing sport and business.
