Only a scientologist can take free kicks like beckham

Except when they throw a flare and knock a player in the head. Although these guys do love their team and their sport, there is a lot of violence that follows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJiNY9FN1kY

I took a walk the other day in 56 degree weather (F). Usually in this time of the year it's below 0. God Bless Global Warming

You pick the number. I'm the bookey remember

I'm taking bets on over/under of how many pages this thread will total.

7, 12, 15, 19, 32, 37 Don't say I never give you anything.

They don't get paid that much in European soccer. He's just the overhyped overrated player Americans and Asians have grown to love. Of course he was turned down by any half decent team left in Europe.

People pay to watch baseball, golf for god sakes, and the No Fun League. But God knows we should all have the same tastes.

I'm sure they could find someone for cheaper.

Wrong. The Yankees actually won championships

Wouldn't surprise me

That's the first time anyone has ever called me that. I guess there is a first for everything.

Soccer players around the world don't get paid very much. This just might get some stars to make the jump into the US if salaries like Beckham's are being offered. I believe the highest paid Italian league player makes about 10M Euro. Same thing for England.

They are doing their best. But what about when Beckham gets there and does !@#$ all? He's a player who I really think is past his prime. "A starter since he joined Real Madrid, Beckham lost his place following the arrival of Italian coach Fabio Capello. He has started only five of Real's 16 league games this season and was known to be frustrated with his lack of opportunities in the first team. " I mean apart from standing there and smiling, he has to actually get on the field and maybe it will be easier to compete in the MLS than la liga the rest of Europe, he'll still have to shine and it won't be easy.

True. Honestly, I hope he goes away. I'm sick of seeing him. His talent is his dead ball and well, not much more than that.

Perhaps. Maybe if a US team would sign Totti, I'd be much more into it But we all know that will never happen

Good luck with the traitor

Personally I think they overpaid for Beckham, especially since he won't be as popular since he lost his captaincy in the world cup squad as well as I believe, a spot on the team. It will still help promote the league but I personally think they didn't properly project how much they will earn.

Ummmm... Having Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Raul, probably was a factor more than Beckham ever was as well as having 9 European titles (the most since the tournament was created).

I heard rumours that he was joining Inter. Oh well. Good publicity for the MLS.

Good luck with that.

So you need a TV to motivate you into staying into shape? You mean heart disease, diabetes and a shitload of other diseases isn't enough of a reason?

Well in general. Smuggling is a risk. But I don't know much about the TSA. I have no idea whether it is their job to monitor smuggling of narcotics as well as airport security or both.

True. Not exactly the best thing to be carrying on a plane, especially in this day and age but still, 3 weeks !!
