Olympic football is a popatwadi tournament that no professional soccer player takes very seriously!! Soccer never enjoyed the status that hockey enjoys in the Olympics.. World cup hockey and Olympic hockey are almost at par, and treated at par by hockey players!!
But soccer World cup and Olympic soccer??? Haha, even a comparison is odious....Olympic soccer is like a popatwadi...soccer world cup is the most prestigious of it all...professional players take more pride in representing their clubs....

I think, most of does not know that in Olympic, there is age barrier for soccer player. ANd 4-5 players of more than that age can play for the participation of experience players.

Yeah.. and messi too. The world's very best are there, even though there is age restrictions etc.
And why the hell are you comparing hockey with football. Football is passinately followed in every country. Not even 5% of the countries play hockey with any seriousness.

You are just showing your stupidity and ignorance by such comments. Only if you had seen Nowanake Kanu destroying Argentina in '96.
It's not Cricket where it is not watchable if you leave out handful of overhyped players. These are players for the future.
