London Olympics 2012 - Football draw

[Touring Mars]

The draw for the Olympic football (soccer) tournament has just been completed... the tournament may not stir nearly as much interest as the World Cup or Euro 2012, but it will be somewhat unique in bringing together a 'Team GB' for the first time in a very long time, much to the annoyance of many people. Sir Alex Ferguson is already denouncing the tournament as a joke, but mainly because he stands to see 9 of his Man Utd players called up at an inconvenient time for domestic football.

Anyway, the groups are:

Men's draw:

GROUP A

Great Britain

United Arab Emirates

Uruguay

Senegal

GROUP B

Mexico

South Korea

Gabon

Switzerland

GROUP C

Brazil

Belarus

New Zealand

Egypt

GROUP D

Spain

Honduras

Japan

Morocco

Women's draw:

GROUP E:
Great Britain
New Zealand
Cameroon
Brazil

GROUP F:
Japan
Canada
Sweden
South Africa

Group G:
United States
France
Colombia
North Korea

Is that it? 16 teams only? Apart from the 100m, this would have been the only part of the Olympics that I might have considered watching. It will be a total anti-climax after the Euro championships.
