look at his peers. giggs,scholes,g neville all still playing at the highest level at the club they have supported all their lives. they are still worshipped by the fans and now seemto be enjoying their football. while beckham who is being practically booted out of madrid is forced to sign for a "soccer" team to avoid having to come back a 2nd tier club who clearly only want him for publicity purposes.... look at his new club http://la.galaxy.mlsnet.com/t106 the "superdraft", games having to end with a winner. beckham is a joke imo. |

As far as using him as a tool for marketing the game in the States, he's gone to the wrong team. The Galaxy support is 90% Mexican, and they're going to hate him. In fact he'll proably be responsible for bringing a boring, family picnic atmosphere to the ground.

with respect, most of that is %@#$&!s. and with pro footballers the majority of the time it is about money. and being shunted out of madrid? is this the same madrid that 99% of footballers would jump at the chance to play for given the chance. |

so what if real madrid is a club anyone would play for? all you have to do is look at his peers... giggs and scholes. they will go on to be ambassadors for the club and held in high esteem. beckham has failed in spain after saying he joined to win things... and is now purely in america as purely a marketing tool and nothing to do with his ability on the pitch. |

Real Madrid and the treatment he got from McClaren finished him off as a footballer.
What's so wrong about semi-retiring and promoting your interests in a new continent? He's got his soccer schools and will probably be in a couple of hollywood films as well as tons of talkshows etc. Going to some shite club knowing you're not the player you were would be far more soul destroying than taking on a completely new challenge. |

is this the same giggs that gets slaughtered regularly?
scholes is a one off, probably never to be seen the like of again all the other player you mention would have probably jumped ship to madrid too, had they wanted them he'll love LA and his lifestyle imo, fair play to him I say |

I think Beckham's motivation is enjoying life. As I said, winning the lot at Manchester United to playing with some of the world game's all-time legends at Real Madrid is pretty £#%&!ing far from a joke. And now the chance to follow in the foot-steps of Pele and Best in lighting up Soccer in America - and all while based in LA. Sounds good to me!

where is it winding down? he's got his new soccer schools thing already set up in la hasn't he. I would imagine he sees a superb opportunity and a fantastic challenge, whilst being paid more money than he's earned at united or madrid |
