FIFA set to approve team GB plan

FIFA are expected to approve the deal which would allow England to represent Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics but hopes that Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott or even David Beckham could figure in the line-up are set to be dashed.

The world governing body’s executive committee will be told of the details of an agreement which will see Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland take no part in the Olympics but allow England to represent Team GB.
