If the Olympics brought in an U23 rule, how would we go in Paris?

Soccer has an under 23 rule (with 3 overage players from memory). How's our team look? What country suffers? Jumps?

Will never happen. There's more money in the Olympics than a WC. USA don’t take the WC seriously.

If you could have three overage players then Mills is one of those. Thybulle and Landale.

From memory David Stern was pushing this under-23 model during his tenure as NBA commissioner, and running an NBA endorsed world cup.

Essentially no money for the NBA in Olympics.

Basketball is a huge cash cow for the Olympics so I doubt FIBA and the IOC would let it go. There's been attempts for a long time but it's never got off the ground and probably never will.

U23 is such a stupid idea. Olympics should be best of the best - men's soccer needs to be ditched from Olympics.

Men's soccer is the highest ranked viewing sport at the Olympics, it ain’t going anywhere.
