I think Beckham should go back to Europe or better yet England. Los Angeles is such a dry football team and America should develop a great player that will represent their country. They always draft from european countries like for example the German player which is Beckenbauer back in the 60's or 70's im not sure. USA should stop buying talents instead they should focus on developing great players who will stand out in facing other countries because for one, football shows how strong, well-planned and in-tuned your people are.

Beckam lacks the stamina and skill he arlier had .. shows clear signs of an aging genious. He knew his career at top along with the demanding level most european leagues require would leave him with injuries. Maybe thats why he moved to a place where football is still in its developing stage.
Anyways, i think he should have stayed in europe. He was a great ambassador for football earlier .. and would remain for many many yeas, therefore his transferring to US will endd up helping america. More youngsters would wantt o Join LA Galaxy now .. even if it because of him, over all standards will improve. Which would in turn help US cultivate its own pool of talent. I guess we can just wait and see.
Have a nice day.

Why American football is growing in leaps and bounds? it's because soccer in America is not the most popular sport, football is football and the NBA after.
But with the arrival of Beckham to the MLS, Beckham could lift the name of American football, the evidence is now more and more European players coming to MLS lucky to be a football player.
Preferably for a career Beckham Beckham should go back to Manchester United.

well said i think that beckham shouldn't be here, i also think that if the mls teams such as la galaxy are serious about developing soccer in America they should invest their money in scouting young talents in other places such as Europe and Africa rather that waste 250 million on a single player who is almost at the brink of retirement.
