As someone who actually likes football (translation soccer), I have to say that other seeing Posh Spice more, I am still disappointed that David Beckham now plays for the LA Galaxy. I guess that him coming to America is supposed to draw interest in soccer in the US, but I think all its really done is get the MLS some world wide attention that will be short lived. Granted one million people watched the Galaxy/Chelsea match the other weekend, but I'm pretty confident that that will be the highest rated Beckham/LA game.Here is my list of complaints:
1. I hate pulling for anything LA, especially a franchise named after space.
2. MLS soccer is sloppy and boring to watch. I will now have to sit through a few more of these.
3. Beckham probably lost more international respect than the MLS gained. This hurts his chances of playing in Euro '08 for England (man, he had just gotten back on the team).
4. Becks plays midfield, so other than scoring on free kicks, he does not score much. In US sports, this translates into "he is not that good" so people will soon turn on him.
5. Although I do think Victoria Beckham is hot, the last thing this world needs is another reality tv show.
