What is the difference between 7-a-side and Olympic football soccer?

Answer 1

Sentiment:

While this is true with many sports in the US, it's not the same feeling in many countries overseas. Many players put more into their team, the Olympics is more of a "final piece of the puzzle" and played more for national pride. Many of the worlds top players avoid the Olympics due to it being in off-season times when they are not game fit yet.

The World Cup however is a different story, and like the Olympics it comes 1 time every 4 years. Some teams will allow players to play in the world cup but not necessarily the Olympics (the most recent is Argentina's star player Lionel Messi.

Rules:

There are a few rule differences in the Olympics, such as the new rule for 2008 where each team must use all under-23 aged players, but can have 3 players over-23 to help provide veteran leadership.
