Beckham is a brand, he is no longer a sportsman and has not been for several years. He need never kick a ball again and this is apparent in his game in recent years.
His move to the US is to please his wife Victoria who has struggled so hard to find fame after the Spice Girls.
They are commodities; they have sold their souls and their lives to the media - they will love their time in the US, let's just hope they stay there!

What's his name again?, yes, Becks!I think he should go and help our friends at LA, just as he has helped his boss to understand that his talent goes beyond just talk. To me he is still the best among the few.

I feel for exposure, Beckham should stay at Real Madrid. The move to US will harm his career in future

Beckham needs to honor his contract with the LA Galaxy. We all know of coaches who are very friendly when asking a player to support their team - but the minute a player signs they become less friendly. Is Capello like this? Beckham will be a huge shot of adrenaline to football in America - arguably the largest consumer market in the world and one in which football would really like to make inroads. Football is growing in popularity in the USA - why do you think that American businessmen are investing in clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool? Let Beckham become an ambassador for the beautiful game.

>MGUK- MLS = SPL in terms of quality, whats that scottish or spanish? Either way you must be having a laugh.

If I was talking Spanish, I would be having a laugh but I'm talking Scottish.

Admittedly I've had an NY Redbulls fan trying to sell me the MLS for the past few months so I'll use them an an example.

The '07 Red Bulls have Juan Pablo Angel as a main striker with some of the better US players(including Cladio Reyna) in there as well.

If they faced my local Conference team Exeter City in a friendly on either side of the Atlantic, City would probably get caned, they don't have anywhere near those sort of players, so comparing the MLS to the Conference is definately idiotic!

Ok anyone who thinks Beckham is not a good footballer is not thinking at all.
David Beckham is one of the top 10 players in the last ten years. For Manchester Utd fans he will always be a legend, for Real Madrid fans he will be remembered as someone with a huge impact. But most importantly for England fans, he was Englands Best player since he got sent off in 98. of course it was a dumb thing to do, but the media's attacks inspired him to take the step up and mature, and be voted number 2 in the world the next season. If people think that MLS is of very low quality those people are misguided. I believe that the MLS is a great league because there are no big four and the winners are always suprising. Class of course it doenst flourish in class, but the USA national side are starting to become better and better and most of the team is US based, though a few play in Europe -cherundolo at hamburg, mcbride,bocanegra,dempsey at fulham, Beasleuy at PSV, Onweyu at Newcastle.

The USA are going to become huge favourites to compete heavily in the world cup in 2010 and 2014. Beckham will transform them into that. his experience will change the player landon donovan is, and the rest of LA, and the league to play against a player of his calibre.

Bring on Beckham and Team USA
