Beckham to go to Los Angeles!

David Beckham is an okay player, he does have a deadly cross on the ball and works hard but i think he's very overhyped. And he was at Real Madrid, not Barcelona! And i'm sure he didn't sign a new contract because he didn't like all the bench-warming he was doing. But no doubt he will sell lots of shirts and hopefully raise his new teams profile..:)

I think that it is great that David is coming to america. It will be awesome to see how he can change american soccer, to a REAL SPORT that we might find enjoyable to watch. Go David!!

Beckham can still bend the ball round a corner than ever before,the money involved really influenced his movement.we'll really miss him in the champions league!

Greed, greed, greed, infidelity, infidelity, infidelity

David Beckham is only one of a long list of over the hill football players going to the US to help bolster the sport in the States. The first one, of course, was the great Pelé who went to the Cosmos. The list is long and I can't remember all the names. First of all, I think that most Americans view soccer as a sissy's game (as compared to American football). I have to admit that I, too, belonged to that club. But living in Portugal where soccer is the only game in town changed my opinion. I began to learn about the game from the bottom up and what I discovered is that football/soccer is perhaps the most strenuous sport that any individual can engage in. They must be a marathon runner, a sprint runner, an obstacle runner and at the same time controlling a ball with their feet...either dribbling or passing. In addition, 8 of the 11 starters are forced to play 90 minutes carrying out these feats. There are no timeouts to sit down and catch your breath. This only occurs when an injury occurs, a free kick, or a penalty. The rest of the time is running from end to end 110 meters. I have been writing a serious of articles on this trying to gather more interest by Americans in soccer but so far my articles have fallen on blind eyes. My point being, that Beckham is going to the States for a long paid vacation. I am sure that it is because his Spice girl wife Victoria does not like Spain and wants to make to be more in the spotlight of Hollywood or wants to be where the action is. We'll never know.

Yup over there he will have a better function in the team than he now has, definately gonna result in somehow better football and who knows that the usa will get through the first round in the world cup.. :p

This move indicates to me that David Beckham has accepted that he will not be returning to the England team. It is a great move for his bank balance, not so much for his career as Major League Soccer is not a high enough standard league for him.

Hi there forfein well I have to say I have never liked Beckham but he is certainly getting around isn't he I am suprised that USA has never been in the World Cup though

It is for his Hollywood career

OK!But I've heard that he is familiar here only for his wife,Victoria.MAybe in L.A. he will have to show that is not only Victoria's husband... I know that he will show all that,and many will be glad for him.I wish him luck! I wish u luck too! Have a nice weekend!

i think its a good move by the club concerned.they definitely do hve the right man for the job.personally i think beckham has got a lot to offer as a footballer as well.with england showing no intentions of availing his services,it is a good opportunity for him to show that he still is a force to be reackoned with. but i dont know the quality of football in US but just hope that its not too far below par,else it would be an insult for a player like beckham.

Yes i heard About this but when i saw the value of the contract i was in shock ... i isn't that good ... i think that they could bring some better player for that money ...

I hate him, hes a waste of time, he isnt even very good.d

iam very sad.i wanted him to play in a more competitive team like maybe milan or manu or somthing else but why la galaxy........he still has a lot give to football.well wateava i wish the best to him

I'd do it for $250 million dollars too! Wow is that a lot of money to kick start the team. He should fit in over in LA though, since he and his wife seem to already know quite a few people in Hollywood. They were at the TomKat wedding

haha man im good at sport allso, show me some money man. i didnt even know the yanks had a team well they do now hey. i want some greenies too man

Yea Beckham was my idol, i don't know what happend to him maybe celebrity went to his head. Usa make a major risc by bringing Beckamp or did not i probably hope that some how Beckamp will rise again. I think Usa is more intrested of Beckamp publicity money he brings i heard that beckamp bringed 150 milions dolars to REal Madrid only in publicity.

I tool like david beckham.. I am a fan for him.. he totally rocks.. he plays very gud..!!

The days of Beckham is already over. Actually I can rather say a transfer to LA Galaxy makes him a celebrity rather than a football player. He's not playing football like what he used to when he's in Manchester United. But what I like of Beckham is he got the skills for curving free kicks and accurate corner kicks. That's what make me amazed.

David Beckham is a great athlete. No doubt about it. But the amount he is being paid comes to 250 Million Dollars US. I dont believe anybody is worth that kind of money. What can he possibly do with all of that money. I just hope he continues to play well, and achieve the ultimate dreams.
