Jeff Baker at New University wrote an interesting article today about David Beckham and his contributions (or lack thereof) to the development of soccer in North America. It’s true that this is a tough market to crack. We seem to love technical games like football and baseball or fighting games like boxing, ultimate fighting, wrestling and hockey. If you put those two together soccer represents a game we wouldn’t enjoy. Low scoring easy to understand games with players acting like pansy’s in the field.
Jeff Baker argued that Beckham was acquired by the LA Galaxy as a promotional tool …read more

It seems that David Beckham will do anything these days to be in an advertisement. I would have expected more underwear posters but this time it will be in a Star Trek outfit. Beckham and Noel Gallagher of Oasis were seen at a London photoshoot dressed as undisclosed Start Treck Characters.

I feel creepy writing about this but after reading TMZ.com’s article about Cristiano Ronaldo newest topless photos I decided to finally get a real survey done on this topic. Without trying to lead you on or change your vote, I’d just like to say that Ronaldo is younger than Beckham – Beckham has a large amount of ridiculous tattoos, and he sounds like Harry Potter. So keep that in mind when voting on your favorite European soccer stud.
So who will it be? Should David Beckham take home the hottest prize award or should Cristiano Ronaldo?

Everyone seemed shocked to see the invincible David Beckham thrown off of the team during a match against the Seattle Sounders last night.
