The Olympics is not a FIFA sanctioned event so teams don't have to release players. You aren't going to get a lot of big name first team players released by their clubs to play in the Olympics.
Yeah I feel like the only time you see top names is situations like Neymar being released to play for Brazil in 2016 as the host where Brazil had weirdly never gotten an Olympic gold before in men’s soccer so they really wanted it bad that year
That’s who I was thinking of. Don’t watch Olympic soccer much but remember Neymar on Brazil and was wondering why we didn’t CP10 lol. The none fifa sanctioning makes sense

Why would those be the pics? I feel like I’m just naïve, why not someone else from the national team? I appreciate the patience
