Whoever neg-repped me for posting a NEWS story and not an actual OPINION, I wish you a lifetime of chronic cock-in-ass disease.
To the rest of you, God bless.

This is going to have very little effect nationally for the soccer cause in the US. Having ESPN give a weekly spotlight on the top European leagues would have more effect than this.

Gracias, Melioris.
Anyhow, I have no idea what the Beckham signing will bring to the U.S. soccer scene. However, I do believe that the main reason we don't embrace soccer here is simply because the best in the world don't play here. Think about it. Major League Baseball, The National Basketball Association, even the National Football League (for those who play it) --- all are the marquee destinations for the people associated with those sports. The MLS, quite simply, isn't. The English Premier League, or whatever the hell it is, is (correct me if I'm wrong), and I think Americans don't give a shit because we know we're not the best. If we did, we'd watch it. It's purely an ego thing. I've seen plenty of 0-0, 1-0 soccer games with more excitement and action than Saturday's Colts-Ravens game. I'm in no means a big, BIG soccer fan -- only once every four years, I suppose. But if you can't understand why three-quarters of the world views this as their main sport, I suggest you take a serious look at what makes you a fan of anything. Take soccer for what it is. But, I can't think of any other sport here that gets you to the bar at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday to drink. P.S. -- It's 4 a.m. Long night of drinking. I apologize for any typos or misconstrued thoughts.

You are joking yes?
Carlos runs half a mile, smashes the crap out of it, and on average scopres 1 out of every 32 attempts. Beckham has a little stroll up tot he ball, swings his foot a little, and it goes beautifully into the top or bottom corners 1 out of every 7 times on average. Also roberto carlos cannot cross a ball 79 yard onto a marker the size of my foot, beckham can. While you may remember CArlos for that ONE freak free kick vs FRance in 1997 in a friendly, which swerved round my house before going in, it doesnt happen often, compare the stats and beckham wins hands down. |

ah dude, your credibility is a little thin around here, so reference your numbers or I call bullshit. While it is probably true that Beckham has a better average, not one of Beckham's goals is more spectular than the top 6 or 7 goals of Roberto Carlos. While Beckham has incredible placement, he just doesn't have the power in his leg like Roberto Carlos, and thus, ultimately, most of Beckham's free kicks are savable with better goal keeping positioning and/or without the wall breaking down.
