How Beckham Blew It

[Sir X]

LOL......Nearly anywhere else in the world, Donovan's achievements would have made him a household name, a fixture on the covers of sports magazines and (considering that his wife starred in the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement) celebrity rags. As a 20-year-old at the 2002 World Cup he had scored the goal that sealed the most important victory in U.S. men's soccer history, a 2-0 second-round defeat of archrival ......LOL

MLS doesnt get it , you are a developing League ,like in SA,Japan , Australia etc.Beckham cannot make a league credible or one man cannot do it .How in the world they expect thier so called star Donovan to do it ?

Donovan would be a relegation balla or a championship player in the U.K if lucky.He flopped in Germany .

MlS only advantage over all the other developing leagues is the fact that its american meaning it sits in the media center of the world it can promote itself internationally.Other than that its championship football at its best and NPL at its worst.

You cannot fault Beckham for using that media circus to his financial advantage thats all it ever was going to be .
