Not really, the age of the Olympics rooster is capped at 23, so it is basically a junior world cup. The FIFA WC, and the continental championships are more prestigious.
Ah. That makes sense.
The stars are in the other matches. That is where the recognized faces appear to be.
Yep, the top stars will be on vacation during the Olympics, getting some rest before the next club season starts.
Yes. Well with the money they make, I dont blame them.
Rest up when they can.
Task, I disagree, because what we are seeing mainly in the European competition are incredible young players.
Promising young people who can be called up and we can see more excitement at the Olympics.

Task, although players have an age limit of 23 years, it is possible to call up 3 veterans to reinforce the squad.
So I believe that some teams will be able to present us with good matches.
