The former England captain David Beckham said today it expects to be one of the 18 components of the British team and compete in the Olympic Games in London 2012 "on sporting merit."
The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player considered "disrespectful" comments that indicate that you are guaranteed a spot in the UK Olympic team for their glamor, shirt sales generated or involvement in preparing for London 2012.

"When people ask me about if I sell many shirts or full stadiums, I feel they are a type of questions a bit disrespectful," Beckham told the British public broadcaster BBC.
The former player of Real Madrid, 37, was active in London bid to host the Olympic Games this summer, which were awarded to the midfielder hometown in 2005 Singapore.
"Throughout my career I have been quite successful, I played in some of the best teams in the world and have competed for England in a few games," said Beckham, capped 115 times with the Three Lions.
The "23" of the Galaxy said that coaches like Alex Ferguson, Fabio Capello and Sven Goran Eriksson for technicians who have played, "do not choose their players by selling T-shirts or because they want to fill a stadium."
"I am proud that people want to buy my shirt. It is an honor to see fans dressed like me, but I want people to frame me as a player who just fill stadiums and sell shirts," said Beckham.
"I want to be chosen so that I can bring to the team, is what has happened throughout my career and I want it to stay that way," said exmadridista.
The Englishman has never denied his interest in being one of 18 selected to compete in the next Games in London and think you can contribute the necessary expertise to the selection of the UK.
"Im very proud of what I achieved in my career, but I have never participated in the Olympics, which I love and that is why so perhaps I have not yet withdrawn from the national team," said the midfielder.
There is speculation that English is one of three players aged over 23 in the list of 18 names late British coach, Stuart Pearce, who will be released in late May.
The Olympic competition rules stipulate that male football teams, only three of the 18 man squad can be over 23 years.
