Question:
Summarize the argument implied by these sentences. 1. The Olympics is meant to represent the top of each sport and for the UK not to enter a team for what is the most popular sport in the country seems an odd state of affairs .
2. Due to the rules around Olympic Football in regards to qualifying , which make it impossible for the United Kingdom to qualify , this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for footballers of the UK to play Olympic Football .
3. To enter the event there is a qualification round , in Europe the UEFA Under-21 Championship event is not only a stand-alone competition it is also used for Olympic qualification ; as UK nations enter this competition as separate teams it means that the UK can not normally enter the Olympic event as they would technically have four chances to qualify whereas each other country has only one .
4. However , as the UK is the host nation of the 2012 Olympics it gains automatic qualification for all the events at the games , including football , which it would usually be illegible to enter .
5. The home nations should pull together and enter a unified team to the Olympics as it is quite literally a once in a lifetime opportunity to have any team from the UK playing Olympic Football , to not enter a team despite having qualification is quite unheard of and as the UK is the home of football it would be a vast disappointment if the UK did not enter .
Answer:
The United Kingdom should field a team in each Olympic competition
