LONDON -- David Beckham remains in contention for Britains Olympic football team after surviving the latest cut in the squad. Manager Stuart Pearce has slashed his long list of 191 players down to 80 since January as he prepares Britains first Olympic football team since 1960. The 18-man squad is expected to be named by June. Beckham, who will turn 37 next month, would be one of three over-age players allowed to feature in the squad if he is selected. The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder has expressed a desire to play at the London Games with his career in the England team effectively over. The former captain made the last of his 115 appearances -- the most for an England outfield player -- in October 2009. Britain has not fielded an Olympic football team since 1960 because Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland feared losing their independence within FIFA. The world body has assured the federations their status wont be affected by participating in the 16-team competition at the London Games, but they have still blocked plans for a combined team, with the Scottish Football Association warning players of a backlash from fans. Pearce still hopes to include players from across Britain. The 80-man shortlist includes Tottenham winger Gareth Bale and Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy from Wales, Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Steven Fletcher from Scotland and West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt. As well as Beckham, four other English players being considered for selection have been disclosed, including another over-age player -- Joe Cole, the 30-year-old Liverpool midfielder who is on loan at Lille in France. The three others are Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland, who is on loan at Cheltenham, Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran, who is on loan at Swansea, and Crystal Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne. Britain will field a womens team for the first time at an Olympics. It will be coached by Hope Powell, who has led England since 1998. Both teams are set to play friendlies in July to warm up for the tournament which starts on July 25 -- two days before the opening ceremony at the Olympic Stadium. The draw for the Olympic football tournament takes place on Tuesday at Wembley Stadium, where the gold medal match will be held.

"Were still a young club," he said Friday after a 3-2 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. "We still have quite a bit to learn as far as the desperation, when you get to this third round. You hear it so much, and I wont accept it. You know, you won a couple of rounds. You got into the third round. That isnt good enough. We still have to find a way to win another round and get there. "I just dont want this organization to sit still and say, because prior it was barely getting into the playoffs, losing in the first round, maybe getting to the second round. We have to change our mindset to continue trying to be the best and learn that theres a lot more hockey to play after you go through a couple." It will take time for the top-seeded Rangers to get over the loss to a local rival that finished seven points and three places behind them in the Atlantic Division. New York hasnt been back to the Stanley Cup finals since it won the championship in 1994. Such expectations werent there -- at least outside their dressing room -- way back in October when the Rangers began the season with post-regulation losses in Sweden against the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks and another defeat in New York against the Islanders. But over the course of the next 79 games, the Rangers built their most impressive seasons in years, winning seven-game playoff series victories over Ottawa and Washington. New York was atop the Eastern standings from Dec. 30 until the end of the season. "It doesnt feel right to be done now," 22-year-old defenceman Ryan McDonagh said. "Its a tough pill to swallow." The Rangers (51-24-7) finished second in points only to the Vancouver Canucks, the Western Conferences top-seeded team that was eliminated in the first round by Los Angeles. Their 51 wins and 109 points were both the second most in team history. "It felt like so many things that happened during the year made it feel like it was something special, like they were signs that something good was coming, something exciting," goalie Henrik Lundqvist said. The Rangers have a good young core of players on offence and defence and are building a club they hope will be a consistent contender for years. "I really like what we have here," Tortorella said. "I dont think it will be the same (team). Theres always changes. But what they have, what our group has developed in their identity, their mindset, I think showed. We dont get it done, but I just like the way they handle themselves." Tortorella and his players, many of whom had red, swollen eyes that reflected the disappointment of the sudden end of the promising season, were reluctantt to discuss the big picture or even allow themselves to look past the pain of overtime.dddddddddddd Still, the Rangers watched the continued growth of McDonagh and fellow defencemen Marc Staal, who was solid once he recovered from a concussion that forced him to miss the first 36 games of the season, and Dan Girardi. Michael Del Zotto also had a good season before struggling in the playoffs. Chris Kreider emerged in the post-season after he joined the team right after winning an NCAA hockey championship with Boston College. And young forwards such as Brandon Dubinsky, Derek Stepan and Carl Hagelin also progressed. Marian Gaborik improved by 19 goals over his second season with the Rangers and finished with a team-high 41. Brad Richards made good in his first year with the Rangers after signing a big free-agent deal, finishing second to Gaborik with 66 points. Captain Ryan Callahan was a stalwart throughout, blocking shots and leading by example. But the offence dried up among the Rangers top scorers once they got to the third round. "Just like that, your seasons over," Callahan said. "We fight hard all year. We fight back in (Game 6), showed a lot of character. Its a hard way to end it." The 30-year-old Gaborik was held to only one goal against the Devils, and like his coach he refused to blame fatigue. New York was only a .500 team throughout the post-season, going 10-10. The Rangers will have to increase their team speed and overall scoring and figure out how to contend with such a skilful forechecking team such as the Devils. Lundqvist, who at 30 is a finalist for league MVP and for the Vezina Trophy as the NHLs top goalie, was superb in the post-season. "When its over, its such an empty feeling," Lundqvist said. "Even when you win, its weird that its over. Im going to probably be pretty tired for a couple of weeks, sit down and reflect on what happened, try to learn something. It is shocking when its over." Lundqvist was fresher at the end because the Rangers limited his regular-season workload, using him in a career-low 62 games. The Swedish star posted a career-best 39 wins in his seventh NHL season with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage with eight regular-season shutouts. Even with the so-so finish in the final games against the Devils, Lundqvist posted a stellar 1.82 GAA and .931 save percentage in the post-season. But Lundqvist still faces the reality that he hasnt stolen a playoff series yet for the Rangers. It wont make it easier that 40-year-old Martin Brodeur outdueled him and got the Devils to the Stanley Cup finals for the fifth time. "All the work you put in for two months (of playoffs), eight months really, it hurts," Lundqvist said. "This is going to take a while to get over." ' ' '
