London 2012 have apologised for another nationality gaffe after the official Team GB programme listed the Welsh midfielder Joe Allen as English.

Allen, 22, is one of five Welshman who agreed to be involved in the Team GB football squad despite the opposition of the Football Association of Wales, who feared the combined British team could threaten the country's independence.

The Swansea midfielder, a target for Liverpool, is expected to feature in Team GB's opening match against Senegal at Old Trafford.

The other Welshmen – Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Neil Taylor and Aaron Ramsey – are correctly identified in the programme, but under Allen's name the details read: "Nationality: English".

A London 2012 spokesman Andy Mitchell told the BBC: "A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise."

The error comes a day after the South Korean flag was mistakenly used on a graphic alongside the names of the North Korean women's football team, prompting the team to walk off the pitch at Hampden Park.

Reacting to that incident, Paul Deighton, the chief executive of the London organising committee, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It was a mistake. It is as simple as that. We have apologised and taken steps to make sure that it cannot happen again. It was simple human error."

 

Mexico vs Korea 0-0 on just now

 

Lucky goal for Japan.

Don't see why Danny Mills is going on about it being De Gea's fault, nothing he really could have done, just bad defending from the corner
