I almost feel sorry for the guy, he was a scapegoat for England's horrible performance in the world cup, he has won fuck all at Madrid and now he's gonna go to the MLS where he'll lose a fuck load of his credability. I guess it'll be good for American Soccer because it hasn't really taken off over there yet, someone with Beckham's status would probably boost the MLS reputation. NOTICE: I know this could have gone in the Soccer thread however I think it's pretty big news that could actualy help shape the MLS into an established league.
I think he should play for an English club again. He belongs in European football leageus, this seems like a dicion made by a manager just to make American "soccer" more popular...
Well at one stage he was strongly rumoured to be joining my team, Arsenal, back in England... I think the only reason he's moving is so he and Posh can live the LA lifestyle IMO.
This is what football in the US used to be all about, signing big names who are past it as a business venture.
I just found out something which sickened me... That son of a bitch will be earning $1,000,000 a week for five years...
It's been rumoured for a while that David and Victoria are going to try and break into the American pop culture scene, to hang with their buds like Tom and Katie, etc. Victoria even got a new rack! But it's too bad her face is so leathery.
I don't think it was the lifestyle that appealed to Beckham... I think it was the $50 million a year.
if he really loved his football, he wouldnt have mind cutting his pay check down by...a long long mile...
Don't start that. If most people were offered that much they'd take it without question. Unfortunately it's too easy to be a cynic.
If he came back to England he could be great for most of the season, and it would still take only one bad game for the media to get on his back.
