I played soccer for years, so did my wife, so does my daughter...but I don't like watching it.

If Beckham's wife starts playing soccer for the US team...albeit naked...then I will watch it.

he'll be the higest paid US athlete making around 250 million dollars in salary and endorsements over 5 years.. 50 million a year for a guy whose career is clearly on the decline is way too much money.

how can a US soccer team afford that? they're really taking a chance that a ton of people will show up to watch this guy kick a ball around for 90 minutes.

I think that she will be too busy trying to resurrect her flaming entertainment 'career'. I think that there is only one reason they are 'coming to America'.

Spice Girl: Becks, why don't we move to the colonies to further your career
Spice Boy: but the footie is shite over there
Spice Girl: You will be paid 500 times more than most of your 'mates; besides your lame arse ain't playing at Real, and you're making me look bad. How much longer before the world takes notice that you've become an international celebrity all from taking corner kicks.
Spice Boy: but the footie is shite over there and the beer tastes funny
Spice Girl: Look a-hole, I'm not getting any younger, and I want to re-invent myself as a movie Diva. And if you don't go, no more nookie with the Nanna.
Spice Boy: DONE

WOW!!! ive been reading this thread for a couple of days now and im probably the only one on this board that loves football and soccer equally. i dont care if L.A. galaxy overpaid for him and all that BUT, for the future of the kids growing up in this generation that love or just like soccer its HUGE. how americans feel about MLS soccer is comparible to how europeans feel of NFL europe. imagine if Ray Lewis or Torry Holt went to NFL Europe, it would be a big deal.

when PELE played for the cosmos, american soccer was not yet stable and folded only after a couple of years. MLS has been around for almost 10-15yrs i believe. more stadiums are being built just for soccer. more american soccer players are getting a chance to play on teams in Europe. Beckham could be what the US needed to get american soccer to the next level.

just my 2 cents.

GO IRISH!!!

it could but it could also break the MLS. Talk of Ronaldo going to NY & Davidds to Dallas
