The 2008 Olympic Football Qualifiers Are…
The last of the 16 qualifiers for the 2008 Olympic Men’s Football tournament was decided on Wednesday, with Nigeria U23 getting the necessary three points by beating South Africa 3-0. Marseille’s Taye Taiwo scored the first, then Isaac Promise forced a South African own goal and Everton’s Victor Anichebe finished things off.
So the final sixteen qualified teams competing in Beijing are:
China (hosts)
Australia, South Korea, Japan (Asia)
Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria (Africa)
Honduras, USA (CONCACAF)
Brazil, Argentina (South America)
New Zealand (Oceania)
Netherlands, Serbia, Belgium, Italy (Europe)
The draw for the tournament takes place April 20th, 2008.

As a Liverpool fan, i am worried about the possible loss of Javier Mascherano for the start of the 2008-2009 season.
The dates of the games are 8-24 August, so that means that any players involved will miss the important pre season build up, and possibly the opening few fixtures, as well as missing out on a well-needed rest (no worries here for Englands stars!!).
Liverpool have never really suffered from losing players to the African Nations, but the thought of Monster Masch going off to Beijing is a real concern.
But maybe he won’t go. Anyone shed some light?
