Soccer super star is coming to the USA to energize soccer. Yes! His move from a world class club like Real Madrid to the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS is a move that will make people in the USA stop watching other sports and enjoy soccer. It will pump in more money into the league and Beckham will become God here as well.
Ahem.....don't get me wrong....I love soccer. In fact it is my favorite sport. But whatever some analysts have been saying about Beck's arrival into the USA Soccer scene, I don't think it will have any huge impact other than ticket sales. In fact in LA the Galaxy season ticket sales have gone up. It even makes me want to go to Columbus to watch the Crew play the Galaxy.
But in reality Beckham is past his prime. I think this move is related to a celeb status deal for him and his wife. Posh is trying to become an actress, and what a good lead-in especially when you live in Los Angeles. Although I may be wrong. Another report claims the move is due to the couple's son having epilipsy problems.
Whatever the case, the buzz around LA is huge. Rod Stewart, Steven Spielberg and JLo have gotten tickets for the Galaxy. I would hope that this new found interest brings in more quality players into the MLS, and thus more interest. I don't think David Beckham can do it alone. I wish him Good Luck!
Welcome to the USA!
