DAVID Beckham has not been selected in Britain's Olympic soccer squad in a huge blow for the former England captain's hopes of crowning the twilight of his career in style.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder had been widely expected to be named as one of the three over-age players for the London Games in July and August. "Naturally I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me," Beckham, 37, said in quotes relayed by his spokesman yesterday. He had been tipped by media to light the stadium cauldron when the Games begin in his east London birthplace on July 27. This now looks unlikely while he definitely will not be able to be the British flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
