Beckham: Footballer or model?

i would agree that he made a big and illustrious fame in the states right now but that is what and who david beckham is. he is a footballer with a face and looks of a model. he is gracious in how he brings himself in the public. i wouldn't say that he is slacking on the field, he is just slow right now but that doesn't mean he can't play anymore. he is slow in the sense that he has been into so many injuries, and if you noticed him while he's still with real madrid. he had a superb exit with real and his last minutes in the club, he gave his best to get what he needed, a championship in spain. he played even he is in pain and even deliver his trademark kick in many instances. with his present situation with the galaxy, he is just cautious considering how big the contract he signed with them and it's still his second season and 3 more to go. so there are two things right now that is possibly happening, one, he is doing what a businessman should do or instruct him to do. people love to see him in the field, arena admissions dramatically change for the galaxy since beck arrived. so who would want not to be happy seeing him kicking those ball all the time? that's two birds already at one time. second, even he want to force himself to play like he used to be, his body is just taking the toll already from more than 17 years of playing football.

Dear friend, I do him more as a footballer than any other role I hope Beckham might have bit dull in his form and mostly I hope he would get it more in this season club matches. Anyhow Beckham has good class as a model too.

I think he is now a good model and I think his time to footballer is finished,although he had a good footballer defect.

i think he is a good fottballer

david bekham is a very good player, no doubt. but of late it seems that he himself has forgotten that he is a footballer. he seems to place himself as a pop star than a sportsman. i think this change has come more after his relation with the 'posh spice' victoria.

Do I think Becham is a good footballer - In all likelihood - Yes! But I was hugely disappointed when he moved to LA Galaxy because for me it was more a commercial move more than anything else. A move that made him even more rich and comfortable to hang out with his Hollywood buddies. As a soccer fan it was very disappointing to see him concentrating more on modeling as you said, but I totally understand his move too. He has killer looks and can earn more money in a day than what I can in a year just by flashing his underwear. So he is smartly doing just that and earning big bucks. The answer to your question will thus be both with his concentration more focused on the modeling aspect for now. I still feel and hope that we see some more of the awesome free kicks and crosses from his gifted right foot. It is a brilliant spectacle when he does well, so as a fan I definitely want to see more of him. And quite frankly it is irritating for me to see him on billboards and not scoring goals or providing assists. I would definitely prefer to see him more on the football field before he retires which is coming soon I am sure.

Yes i thik David beckham it become not a football player but just a marketing animal!!In reality it is good player but i don't admire him too much.in fact i don't like the player model he want spread from himself and so i used to not consider as positive the activity of Beckham!!I think the good results in sports can be considered and remembered even when an athlete stop their carrer but that one linked to sponsor ,image or hollywood fake model will stay up for a time and afterthat nobody remember about them!!so becks choose these one and i think this is just agreat example as sports and especially football is becoming not a game but a business or marketing affairs!!

stupid backham thats not a soccer. he better quit it and go back to the photo shots. He not the type anymore.

I'd say a Hollywood star :P a little of all... sometimes one of the best wingers ever sometimes a model and sometimes just a gossip magazines frontpage :P
