Beckham to play in MLS

Finally a reason for me to come to TOTAland, since the Guv is always crammed to the nostrils

MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- Former England captain David Beckham will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and sign a five-year deal for MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy, he told Reuters on Thursday.

The 31-year-old, who joined Real from Manchester United in June 2003, is the most famous player to sign up for Major League Soccer since it began in 1996.

"This week Real Madrid asked me to make a decision regarding my future and the offer to extend my contract for a further two seasons," Beckham told Reuters.

"After discussing several options with my family and my advisors to either stay here in Madrid or join other major British and European teams I have decided to join LA Galaxy and play in the MLS from August this year."

I bet the league had a part in that, awesome. I think its a good move for both parties and great for the sport overall...

Although playing for the LA Galaxy does sound a bit ghey lol

BEAT ME TO IT!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I have my season ticket

As many of you already know, the 2007 MLS SuperDraft is taking place this Friday, January 12th, in Indianapolis.

This is an exciting and historic moment for Toronto FC as we will select 1st overall. Coaches and general managers from all 13 MLS clubs will attempt to find a �hidden gem�. We thought we'd send some Coles notes as to how the Draft works and who's in the running on our side of the border...

The Draft features some of the finest collegiate and youth soccer prospects in the United States. The majority of prospects are graduating college seniors from NCAA schools while others come from Generation adidas. Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas - dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional environment.

Canadians eligible for the draft include: Richard Asante (Syracuse), Nigel Marples (Towson), Jeff Gonsalves (Rhode Island), Riley O'Neill (Kentucky), and Tyler Hemming (Hartwick). The Draft includes four rounds and 52 selections.

The first hour of the SuperDraft will be televised LIVE on The Score starting at 12 noon, with the remainder of the event streamed live on www.MLSnet.com, the league's official website.

Selection order for the 1st ROUND:
1.Toronto FC
2.Columbus Crew
3.Kansas City Wizards
4.Real Salt Lake
5.Los Angeles Galaxy
6.Colorado Rapids (from New York Red Bulls) - A
7.Chivas USA
8.Chicago Fire
9.FC Dallas
10.Los Angeles Galaxy (from Colorado Rapids) - B
11.D.C. United
12.New England Revolution
13.Houston Dynamo

Can anyone tell me what the 'FC' stands for in Toronto FC? Is it Fried Chicken? Did Toronto's franchise sign an endorsment deal with KFC?

Facetious criminal?

in my opinion beckham is pretty much done so he just wants to take it easy for now..move to LA and party it up there

in my opinion, he is hot

Just another publicity thing for MLS like always...

Lets get a washed up 31 year old to play for us, to get more watchers..Its a good move, but beckham will give them 1 maybe 2 seasons of decent play and thats it.

rumours are that Ronaldo is also considering joining MLS. I'll definitly be watching some Toronto FC games now to see beckham and hopefully his wife.

+1..i think its a great thing for MLS...

I'm sure it'll draw a lot more attention and hopefully gain a larger fan base.

I'm not a huge football fan, but I do enjoy watching it every once in a while and am even more excited now for Toronto FC!

Hopefully i'll get a chance to catch a few games!

More likely his wife. His career is nearly done and I'm sure she probably wants to reserect hers... LA is a better place for that then Barcelona. Either that or his colone sales are flagging in the US so he needs to raise his profile there.

now we can all see first hand just how bad a player he always has been...you can teach an half decent player how to kick.

He should just be their mascot.

There was a study done a while ago that was saying how the wifes have a larger influence on athletes and where they play. Especially in the NHL right now with the salary cap. Isn't there like an organization in the NHL something like "the wifes of NHL players" or something like that. Significant others play larger roles these days, especially considering that they are going to be spending a lot of time alone.

I'm sure Victoria prefers to LA or Barcelona...thats just my opinion.

It isn't just about money, its about how whipped they are :P

Can't wait till the LA Galaxy come to play here in TO I'm going for SURE!

Yep him and Figo

heh heh, Beckham doesn't have a choice now since he got caught nailing some other chick

I don't blame some hockey players wives if they don't want to play in Canadian cities, as the players in Canada get the star treatment and attention from chicks here, even when they were juniors playing in small towns.

Figo won't be coming to N. America...he just signed a 1-yr deal in Saudi Arabia for big money and will probably retire after that

I have always thought Becks was shit and he still is...The most overrated player to ever step on the pitch

A rubbish player going to a rubbish team in a rubbish league
