it is for that reason you shouldn't comment on something you know nothing about.all the other countries have it right - support your local club. I however have found it hard until recently to support the LA Galaxy because it's more fun watching my 6 year old magnet ball then these clowns play professional soccer. Honestly, my high school varsity team in Japan was better than some of these teams. Soccer is a magnificent sport and many fail to see that. They say no skill at all but placing the ball perfectly time and time again takes skill. There's a reason these guys make hundreds of thousand of pounds each week.On a side note - let's conform to the rest of the world (excluding places like Australia) and call it for what it is.... It is football, not soccer. American football should change it's name to throwball since they actually throw the ball more than they kick it.
I love Becks, but his time is over. He should just work full-time doing charity work, classes at his soccer academy for kids, etc. He's a great guy and WAS a great player, but it's time to let go. Vicky is a great chick, too. Despite her pouting and posing in photos, she's a great mom, a funny lady and her clothing line is spectacular (if outside my price range...)Good luck to them both!
Watching him play in the all star game last year made me start to think we weren't good enough for him. When he was playing with peers you could tell he still had plenty of skills. I'm surprised it was thought they could just dump him on a _team_ (remember there are other people on the pitch?) and magically make the US pay attention to soccer and make it massively successful.

Oh hai, I like to respond to opinions with my own opinion and say your opinion sucks because I'm a no talent ass clown.

True, seeing as how it was invented by European ladies so they'd have something to keep them busy while their husbands were at home cooking.-Hank Hill
