Re-think: Beckham (right) is likely to reconsider his desire to play at the London Games after Tuesday's debacle

David Beckham reiterated his desire to be part of Team GB' s football squad at the 2012 Olympics only last week. But after Tuesday's shambles he might want to think again.

With hundreds of thousands of the 2.5million tickets for the men's and women's football tournaments still unsold, the British Olympic Association released a statement trumpeting a 'historic agreement' and insisting a team of English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish players would be competing.

BOA chief executive Andy Hunt said: 'Seeing Team GB take to the pitch in 2012 will be one of the defining moments of the London Games. It would be unthinkable to host the Olympics in Britain, home of the world's most knowledgeable and passionate football fans, and not have Team GB represented in men's and women's football.'
