David Beckham Didn’t Make Britain’s Olympic Soccer Team » Gossip - David Beckham tried out for his home country’s Olympic soccer team during the trials, but unfortunately Beckham fell short of making the team and will have to hang out, preferably shirtless, in the stands.

Manager Stuart Pearce said that David did very well and made his shortlist, but unfortunately wasn’t in the final group. Part of the challenge for Beckham and the team is that the London Olympic rules state that only three players on the squad are allowed to be over the age of 23, which I think is complete bullshit and possibly a violation of some statute or code in Great Britain (or at least it should be). Beckham is the super sexy age of 37.

Even though Beckham was deemed ‘not good enough,’ he is still taking it like a really hot, rippling muscles, champ,

Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad. Naturally, I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me. And like everyone, I will be hoping they can win the gold.
