Beckham misses out on Olympic dream

Former England captain David Beckham revealed Thursday he had not been picked for Great Britain's Olympic football squad.

Beckham, regarded as a potential skipper of the side, confirmed in a statement he had not made the final 18-man squad as one of coach Stuart Pearce's three over-age players.

Pearce had travelled to the United States to assess Beckham's form last week before making his decision.
