Andriy Shevchenko has shown interest as well

Yep.

If Becks takes it seriously, even the '07 version will be a hell of a player for the Galaxy. If he's just here to party and jumpstart a movie career, that's a different story.

i think the whole move is a 250 million dollar joke... i still think no one in america is going to care about the MLS... sports fans here like baseball and NFL football and like most americans, aren't willing to change even if it does mean quality players... and if they are trying to get more people to watch, hopefully they'll start actually broadcasting the games in HD... last year i remember flippin channels and leavin on an MLS game for a minute or two and viewing experience sucked because it wasn't in HD... not even the "MLS all star game" where the MLS all star's played Chelsea was in HD... what a joke

at the end of the day, all this move is doing is taking away quality players from countries where football actually matters...... i dont like it

HDNET had some games in HD

comcast doesn't provide HDNET unfortunately

he is coming to reep the benifits of the LA market and the endorsements.

Also because of adidas, and to start a movie career...he has been talking about this for a while, i though hed wait another couple of years.

however, i think he is wasting his time if he plans on reinventing the MLS.

futbol in the states is hopeless...because we did not invent it, we will not embrace it.

Ill stick to the premier league on FSN

i really do wish he'd leave the orange, lopsided cantaloupe toting alien abroad. that being said yes, $3.17/second is totally sick but what about consumerist culture says to expect any less (literally)? but i still have my man united scarf with his face knitted onto it that my friend brought back for me from england 10 years ago and he adorned my cubicle for years (this from a girl that prefers girls!) and i WILL be buying a ticket just to gaze upon his adonis-like form in person. hooray for MLS!

added bonus: i might have more friends to watch the world cup with next time around... the last 2 times were lonely!

his agent has very good negotiating skills

this is an investment not only by LA Galaxy but the league as a whole. this will catapult the league from a 2nd class sport in the USA. much like when Wayne Gretzky was acquired by the Kings and put NHL on the map. The league will also reap benefits from Beck's corporate endorsements. And maybe, they'll bring in Ronaldinho, too.

Beck's is still one of the top football players in the world; and bringing in quality players will certainly affect, in a good way, the other players' skills. Therefore, will increase USA's chances of bringing home the world cup in the future.

Remember, it's not the only league that's hiring quality foreign players. There's the NBA, MLB & of course NHL.

BTW, already bought 2 season tickets!

i still beg to differ. it's like saying don't bring your crappy EDM here coz we only listen to country & hip-hop. but apparently, here we are, loving the music.

we bring in the top European DJs and playing to packed venues.

and for true football fans, his looks is just a plus for ladies to look at. watch the video and you'll understand why.



this is a "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!" for MLS
