Yeah, I can just see SkySports, Setanta and BBC all fighting over TV rights for MLS.

Stats can mean whatever you want them to. The fact of the matter is, Beckham (and the equally talentless Mrs) would rather be seen hanging out with 'Brangelina' and the Cruise's than do his job.

Please remind me, how many games did Beckham actually complete for LAG last season?

Forza
Your comments are a bit difficult to follow at times.

''Yeah, I can just see SkySports, Setanta and BBC all fighting over TV rights for MLS.''
Who is that comment for?

Brangelina? I 've no idea what that is!

''People watch(ed) England, Man Utd, Real Madrid and AC Milan games because they are footy fans, not fans of Beckham.'' We all know that 5flop is only watching Milan for one reason.

''The proof that Beckham is no longer the publicity magnet he once was is the fact that he's hardly attracted new audiences to MLS or Serie a''
You are clearly wrong about MLS.
Serie A? he's only been there 5 minutes!

''Stats can mean whatever you want them to.''
They mean that attendances in MLS are at a record high.

Imp

Beckham has 'raised' the profile of MLS because he's a celebrity playing football, when he should actually be a footballer, full stop. It is not for his footballing ability that fans flock to the Home Depot, it's in the hope that they might catch a glimpse of Beckham's new best mate, Tom Cruise.

What I meant by the SkySports comment was that no-one on this side of the pond gives two s***s about how Beckham's getting on. AND the initial fanfare that greeted him has gradually died down as Americans begin to wonder what all the fuss was about.

I am really pleased to hear reports of Beckham doing well at Milan. He never should have gone to America in the first place and I really hope he makes his Milan move a permanent fixture. I can't believe people still doubt Beckham's talents after all that he has done for football, he is probably the best footballing role model around

Funny to read these ridiculously inaccurate predictions. Beckham has once again shown that he is a great player, not that anyone with a brain needed convincing.

well done twinklebathat,in our sport you need to perform and prove yourself for entire seasons and for whole tournaments to be regarded as a "great player".That is not the same as scoring an annual free-kick to absurd over praise by clowns like you wihtout one iota of knowledge on our sport whatsoever then fading into obscurity which is what beckham did at madrid-and is what will happen at milan.Mark the words of someone whos predicted Beckhams story at every turn.

beckham has still got his gift of football, i hope he stays there for years now. the italian game can keep him going till 38+ e.g. maldini, cafu. and he is the only english international since the early 90's to have succeeded in europe.

Beckham 4 seasons in spain-1 la liga.

Mcmanaman 4 seasons in spain- 2 european cups, 2 la ligas,spanish fa cups, scored in CL final.

You, like 99% of "becks" fans, have no knowledge of our game.Leave it now.
