Not EPL Related, But Still…….
It may not register much of a blip in the World of football, but here in the US, David Beckhams return to the MLS has all the TV talking heads giving their opinions on a sport of which they know nothing. They all claim that Becks does nothing to help sell the sport here, yet the only time soccer is discussed stateside, it’s more often than not with Beckham as the subject.
Soccer is a sport that will never be relevant here, no matter how many big names sign on for even bigger dollars. Americans, for the most part, simply don’t care…..it’s too bad, but I for one will be watching tonight to see if the much ballyooed rift between Beckham and Landon Donovan spills over onto the playing field, creating just one more day of soccer in the American TV spotlight.
