6	20 July 2012 - Great Britain 0 Brazil 2 [0-2] Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough (24,721) = (7+6 subs)(4+1 sub)	Sandro [12], Neymar [34 (pen)]	HL
		Coach: Stuart Pearce Captain: Ryan Giggs (Manchester United)
	With London hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, the hosts were obliged to enter a team into the football tournament. Great Britain and Northern Ireland had not competed in the competition since 1971; firstly, due to the abolition of amateur status by the Football Association, and then, when professional players were formally accepted, from 1984, the home associations refused to compete as a unified team, due to their individual identities in all other international competitions. As the hosts did not have to qualify for the tournament, a temporary solution was reached in order that Great Britain could compete at the 2012 Games, though no Scottish or Irish players were selected.
2012 - Games of the XXX Olympiad
	The Anglo-Welsh squad was comprised of under-23 players, apart from three over-age members (the captain, Giggs, 38, Welsh team-mate, Craig Bellamy, 33, and Manchester City's Micah Richards, 24).

Ramsey took a second penalty, four minutes after his first, but it was saved by Yung, who went off injured in the second half, leaving his substitute, Lee to become the south-Korean hero, by saving Daniel Sturridge's kick in the shootout. The Koreans went on to win the bronze, with Mexico winning the gold medals.
