          I agree JJ, I think he needs to leave the Galaxy and go elsewhere.

            The problem is, he plays more of a defensive mid fielder, that's why he doesn't score as much.

            He's a good player, but 100% not worth the money he is making

            In fact, 99% of players aren't worth the money they make but thats another story

                  but, it takes more than 1 player to do that and Beckham def. isn't the guy to change this

                  USA needs to win the Worls Cup, then maybe ppl might get interested in soccer.

                  I love the sport, but the majority love NASCAR

                              screw soccer


                              the white sox, rushed Beckham amidst injury panic, nothing worse then a young talent having to learn how to hit MLB pitching less than a year after college, AND learning a new position on the job as well...

                              I hope it doesn't stunt his growth

                                                America has been an experiment that has largely gone wrong. Here's a guy who was absolutely devasted by an appauling England national coach (McClaren, former Man Utd assistant) saying he would never play for his country again - his appearances would stop short of the 100 mark, it was all over. Pundits in the UK were erroneously making out that the likes of Aaron Lennon, David Bentley and Sean Wright-Phillips were good enough to fill his boots.

                                                Beckham hasn't "needed" to play for years, he's mega-rich, we all know that. But it upset him deeply to be left out in the cold by his own country. Presented with the option of staying in Europe for a good side but knowing that, for the forseeable future, no matter how he played, he wouldn't get the national call-up or with an opportunity to "change football forever", he took what many felt was the wrong option at the time and what has proven to be the wrong option for all concerned now we can see how things progressed. When the news broke of his departure to the States, it felt like many who had bashed him then realised "crap, we've lost him."

                                                You have to remember, Beckham has been built up into a world icon, someone who genuinely believes he can changes things for the better using his image, name and involvement. For all the money he's received from going to LA, does anyone really think that Beckham did it solely for that? If you do, then I don't think you have followed his career. In his mind, by going to LA, the MLS would see a number of 30+ players from Europe following him, that the profile and quality would improve over the next 5 years and he would leave a lasting impression on the world of football. Funnily enough, the easy option would have been to just fade out playing at a European side with no chance of making that elusive 100th England cap or making any big championship again. Certainly with his football academys, he has tried to leave his mark in other ways than simply using his right boot and this looked like the biggest attempt to leave his mark.

                                                Suddenly, your new England manager tells you that if you want to be in the England squad, you need to be playing football - the off-season becomes a problem, travel becomes a problem, the quality of the league becomes a problem. If you cherish wearing that England shirt, what would you do? You want to keep to your word for America and improve the MLS but your heart tells you that you need to play for your country. Unfortunately, he couldn't win. If he left America fully, he would have turned his back on this MLS dream, if he doesn't at least return to Europe some of the time he never plays again for his country and if he does what he's been doing, he appears to America to be a superstar who's part-time, not changing the MLS and only in it for the money.

                                                He doesn't need the money. He doesn't need the hassle of some guys with placards swearing at him. The one thing that has always set Beckham apart from other football superstars is that regardless of the game, regardless of his age, he ran and ran - football mattered to him, he put in the effort on the training ground, he developed his dead-ball skill and some of the greatest managers in the world thought of him in the highest regard and still do - that's all you need to know about rating him. LA and the MLS must feel cheated and I understand that but it would have made life much easier to turn his back on England to pursue this American dream, pick up all the money and live an easy life. What's causing the problem is that he's a footballer above all; the draw of walking out in the England shirt, taking that 90th minute freekick in a World Cup knockout and being valued by his countrymen is a hard one to ignore.

                                                  The problem with Beckham is that he needs to play on a team that's already good. He's like an oil that will lubricate a first class engine so that it can perform near top level. At the highest level he has an impact, with slick passing and smart soccer. But he's not the type of player to improve a bad team. He's always played 'within' the team; never above it, as is expected at the Galaxy.

                                                  When he realized that the Galaxy wasn't going anywhere (Gullit already left), he must have lost interest. And now he gets negative press, because people here think he just signed for the money. Donovan, by the way, would not have survived such a personal attack on a European superstar, had this been in Europe. He would have broken a leg in training... Beckham is too nice for that, but Donovan was so far out of line in the soccer hierarchy, it's not even funny.

                                                      Beckham is a great player, a legendary passer of the ball, there are few players in football who can pick out pin-point passes like Beckham, his crosses, ball delivery and corners are a nightmare for any defense and the guy is a free kick specialist.

                                                      Don't be fooled, this guy has serious talent! he has alot of hype surrounding him but he trained hardcore to get to the level is at, as a youth he would spend hours trying to kick the bal through tyres.

                                                      His national team treated him terrible with the last manager, hopefully he gets given a chance again.

                                                        Couldnt have said it better myself Karayilan. The man can hit a 50 yard switch into the corner and put it at your feet on the run. EVERY TIME! He sets up goals.

                                                                    karayilan summed it up well, the problem is with beckham, because hes such a big shirt seller, this Marketing reputation has over taken his football rep, and as hes not a player that dribbles around and scores alot its easy to criticize him,

                                                                    firstly hes a top pro, great great captin and has has ridiculously good passing accuracy. If you have a look at alot of englands important goals over recent years your see they come from his set peices and corners, even in World Cup 2006 he set up the goal vs Paraguay and scored v Ecuador.

                                                                    As for the whole milan ordeal, it started with Steve Mclaren dropping him from the england team, so he felt his internacional carrear is over and theres nothing left to achive in europe so he came to the MLS, but with capello giving him the opputunity to play again hes not leaving his last opputunity of a world cup to chance by playing in europe, and to be honnest i cant blame him for that.
