Respect the watchword at Wembley Held at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, the draw for the group phases of the Olympic Football Tournaments London 2012 served up a daunting group in the women’s competition and a classic match-up in the men’s. Gauging the reactions of the assembled dignitaries and national team coaches afterwards, FIFA.com found two common themes: maximum respect for their respective first-round opponents and a desire to go far when the tournaments finally get under way. Drawn together in Group A of the men’s tournament, Great Britain and Uruguay will revive memories of Olympics long since past when they meet at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on 1 August. The hosts struck gold in the first two Olympic Football Tournaments in 1908 and 1912, while La Celeste won both the next two competitions to be staged, in 1924 and 1928.
