Stuart Pearce
says the Olympic Team GB men's football selection process should have been
different, claiming "there's players not here who should be".
Pearce's side are in friendly action on Friday against gold medal favourites
Brazil, who are expected to feature Neymar and Oscar. Pearce told BBC Sport he should have been allowed to select under-23 players who took part in Euro 2012.
"We have to take our best to every tournament we possibly can," he said.
Pearce's remarks represent a U-turn after he had originally described the Football Association's decision to rule England's Euro 2012 players out of the Olympics as a "sensible football decision".
Goalkeeper Jack Butland is the only player who travelled with England to Euro 2012 who is in the Olympic squad after receiving special dispensation.
Danny Welbeck, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were among the under-23 players who featured for England at Euro 2012.
