Well, the fun starts tomorrow at 4:30 PT with a special on becks, which will be followed immediately by his debut game, although his appearance will mst likely be short becuase of an injured ankle. Thats ok though, its still cool, sort of. Now that I think about it, the MLS may not be ready for it. But, if we keep our net export talent ratio balanced, we should be ok. Young American talent needs to be exported to EU while we bring a couple legends back to tout the beautiful game. Will soccer succeed in America? if it does, it will not be becuase of David Beckham, but Posh might have something to do with it. The image of soccer needs to change from a social sport for suburbanites that fill shared stadium parking lots with mini-vans to a cut-throat competitive athletic showcase in 50,000 capacity stadiums near public transportation and drinking establishments.
