Will Beckham snub take away the glamour from London Olympics?

David Beckham has been left out of the Great Britain Olympic football squad by Stuart Pearce.

The former England captain seemed to be certain to be part of the summer event but Micah Richards, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs have been picked as the over-23 players.

Beckham is still expected to come to the Games in some respect and may have a role to play at the opening ceremony.
