From ESPN.com:
| Quote: |
David Beckham insisted he's coming to Los Angeles to play soccer, not build a Hollywood career.
"I'm coming there to make a difference. I'm coming there to play football," Beckham said Friday via satellite from Madrid. "I'm not saying me coming to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America. ... But I think soccer has a huge, huge potential. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe in this project. This could create something that we've all never seen before."
Wearing a black suit with white shirt and black tie, Beckham shared his thoughts a day after agreeing to a five-year contract with the LA Galaxy that could be worth $250 million. |

They are paying crazy money for Becks!
Even the best soccer player in the world is not paid as much.

| I think that he is only coming to US because of the money and that he is here a much bigger star than in europe. |

I think that he came to the US because he is on the tail end of his career, and for this reason the competition in Europe is tougher than it is in the US. He will be good here, and I don't think he will get involved in international play anymore.
I think he is the most popular in England, but I am not for sure.
