    Beckham's Decition: A big loss for the F.A.
    David Beckham might be the worlds most recognized athlete, yet his true soccer skills are always questioned?
    This could be another debate...

    But today I read this and I was just shocked at how much money moves soccer and all major sports.

    David Beckham's decition to stop being the captain of the English Soccer team will cost the the FA (football association) approximately 45 million dollars in endorsement, advertisement and marketing deals, specially in Asia.

    Marketing expert Gavan Stuart said that Beckham is larger than the English team, his a marketing icon.

    What if he would quit the team alltogether??
    I just thought it was interesting and share it with you.

    Beckham's gpt it all. Good looks, sharp dresser, cool tattoes, filthy rich, and a great lover according to his extramarital affairs. I mean, if you don't want to be David Beckham as a kid growing up in England, there's something seriously wrong with you. So... I was totally surprised to hear him interviewed. Just never expected a thin high pitched voice.

      My girlfriend constantly says that he is one of those people that simply should never open their mouths.

      He reminds me of Jason Sehorn. His ability as a football player was vastly overrated but he got a lot of press because he would make some big plays and he was part of the social scene in NY. Eventually he was exposed as an athletic fraud, whereas Beckham's talent is considerably more evident.
