Beckham moving to America was basically his only way out of Spain. He wasn't seeing jack for playing time anyways. But there's no way in hell he's worth that kind of money. No one is. The MLS is just *really* desperate for something, or someone rather, to jump-start their league and make it as close to a success like all the other leagues overseas.
They must be REALLY desperate though, to shell out that kind of cash for a player that is past his prime...playing wise...but for modeling underwear....shooooot...he's not done yet.
He will be good for the MLS though, because if there's one player any kid in America even remotely interested soccer knows, it's David Beckham. Yes, lol, there is an "H" there...for the birth mother/father of this thread. But Becks will draw in the cash, in the meantime tarnishing the rest of his reputation and hopefully being labeled the coward he is. Why not stay and tough it out, Becks? You'd rather have a fat check to hand over to your plastic wifey-poo. I just hope I don't have to hear too much of his girly, whiney voice, because no one should have to go through that. Frickin' nancy-boy is what he is.
And as far as the whole hooligan scene in Europe, I will admit it's been out of hand for some time, but who really is going to stop a bunch of drunk idiots fighting and yelling at each other? I know I'd be embarrassed to be associated with ingrates like that at the games, giving both football and my country a bad name. But when your country is known for its intoxicated citizens, that usually doesn't mesh well. It's not that hard to stay away from the sauce until after the game at least. There are players pushing for changes though, so that's always a step in the right direction. Drunk rowdiness isn't really something for Europeans to be proud of, yet some are. ~
