just wanted to know what our bros in the big usa thought off david beckam or dont you give a shit about football:)
yeah, he's good.
It's all about rooney
since my dad is british i watch alot of soccer...and its a great game thats not quite as popular here in the US. It's still very popular though
hes goin to the galaxy
sweet :-)
LA :-)
beckham can fuck himself, he left man utd and fucked of to real madrid for money and now hes gone across the pond for even more, its not about football any more just money, and the sad thing is he gets payed more than people like doctors and scientists who actually make a difference in the world unlike him who gets payed $1,000,000 a week just to kick a ball for 90 mins. fucking pisses me off and he only has 2 braincells
i think he'll attract more attention for the sport of soccer in the US. and his wife will attract a lot of attention in the tabloids. i like soccer and its a shame that the US is not very competitive in pro soccer. maybe beckham will help to change that.
First of all, this thread is in the wrong forum.
2nd of all, I don't think many people really care. I don't really even think he will become that popular of a sports figure. Sure, if the media makes a buzz about it, it will be in the news, but that doesn't mean real americans will care.
I understand he is a huge name across the pond, but over here he is going to have to compete with the tiger woods/dwayne wade/kobe bryant/LT/Reggie Bush/Yankees.
When americans watch sports, we like to see scores. Soccer might be fun and all to play, but watching two teams chase kick chase and score ~3-4 times in 90 minutes, that is boring...no matter how beckham can bend it.
your writehe has got a lot of top guys to compete with,idont much lik him much anyway im an arsenal fan,and of couse a tiger fan being a golfer:)Quote:

Lets say that a 100pt basketball game is entertaining. There is approx 35 field goals made per game (per team)
Lets say that if we counted each goal as 1pt.....but changed the rules so it was easier to score (whether it be field size, spacing req).
Imagine watching a soccer game with a final score of 15-17
I would watch it and probably like it.
Hockey is too slow...neat to watch but too long and not very productive.
Baseball is fun to play but it too is too slow and not enough scoring. A good baseball game is when both teams have double digit scores ex/12-13
Why couldn't they do that for soccer? (and yes i understand soccer is worldwide, but we don't much care for worldwide sports in the US anyway)
I
well its a push for US Soccer. He is not worth 250 Million... I mean common... his wife will fill more seats. I am a soccer fan playing the sport myself but MLS sux... any other league is like 10 times more entertaining.
uh, yeah how did this thread get on this forum...
lol but i know most people think that he's gonna get overrated and shit but i like him ok, as a soccer fan. Plus i play the sport for my school so watching him and some of the other pros is kinda like an inspiration...lol
I can't stand footballers because they are a bunch of overpaid whinging fuckers.
Beckham and his praying mantis looking other half should fit right in with the superficial LA jetset, but even Pele couldn't get the yanks to watch footie and Becks is barely a pimple on Pele's arse.
