I just realized that the Japanese women's soccer team didn't qualify for the Olympics. Pretty crazy considering they've been in 3 straight finals
>tfw no qt japs playing soccer
>qts
>women's football
>qts
Serious question from American who doesn't watch much futbol: do the Olympics even matter to most countries? I just realized countries like England, Spain, Italy, France didn't even qualify for the mens side. Did they just not even try/ not care?

england can't have an olympic team for reasons
also, euros
>japs
>qts
>>66312742
Yeah, they're not prestigious at all in terms of Football for GB and Europe. It's just a weird mix of age restrictions and the fact that it will conflict with the pre-season rest and training.

asllani is by definition a qt

The womens tournament matters more than the men
The mens is only for young players, the womens is a proper tournament
>>66312742
Men's is completely pointless
>23 years old players and younger with three over-23 players allowed per squad
>diversity quotas so only a few countries per continent get in so you get shitty asian teams
>>66312685
>amandine henry
>not a qt

Ah, I had no idea about the age restrictions. I'll just watch the womens then
>>66313102
watching the men's is nice if you want to see the future of the national teams

football isn't played at the olympics, it's too hard on the athletes to play consecutive days in a row. but faggot ball is played at the olympics because it consists mostly of walking around with occasionally having to run for 10 seconds and then tripping over your own feet and flailing around like someone hurt you
>>66313147
Or seeing meme teams like Iraq going to the semis

>mostly of walking around with occasionally having to run for 10 seconds
that sounds exactly like handegg m8

>>66313711
Unironically we have a nt player named DeMarcus Beasley.
For 2016, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, South Africa, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Australia, China and Sweden

>tfw no Enganamouit in Olympics

name?
>>66312911
I think with regular woman's football marginally rising in popularity in recent years they too are starting to not care as much about the olympics as they used to.

>>66314605
Are those supposed to be qts?
After 3 and maybe 15, I'd rather fuck the coach that any of the others.
>>66314605
>thought that Canada would have a tough time with Mexico in semis
>they fucking lost to costa rica and din't even make the semis
>>66314687
I don't know, because Argentina didn't qualify to 2015 WWC and I only know the teams by Stickers' Album of competition.
