Soccer Betting - David Beckham is Going to America
by: Betus.com
Earlier than expected, David
Beckham is coming to America. In one of the biggest
moves in U.S. soccer history, the superstar has
agreed to a $250 million contract over an undisclosed
amount of time.
Beckham, one of the most
recognized sports stars/celebrities in the world,
now has one of the largest contracts in sport.
Beckham will be playing for
the LA Galaxy in the MLS, and owners are expecting
him to bridge the extremely wide gap between American
soccer and European football. Not since Pele or
Franz Beckenbauer played in the disbanded North
American Soccer League has there been such international
hype for a player on this side of the pond.
The 31-year old will be leaving
Real Madrid, where he’s been since 2003.
Although Beckham’s elite soccer status has
been slipping as of late – seldom starting
for Real Madrid and being cut from the English
national program – his star power has not
been waning. Beckham is one of the most recognized
athletes in the world, with large followings in
Europe, Asia and North America.
There has been much speculation
about where Beckham would end up when his Real
Madrid contract runs out this year. Financially,
any team would have been wise to pick up Beckham,
as he is marketing gold – even if he isn’t
so hot on the pitch anymore.
Ironically, with the drop
in talent on American pitches, compared to that
in Europe, King David may yet find himself being
a star soccer player again, too.
This will be a huge boost
for Major League Soccer as Beckham will be, without
a doubt, the biggest name to play for the league
since its 1996 inception.
He will finish out this season
in Spain and be suited up for the Galaxy in August.
Posh Spice – aka Mrs. Beckham – has
been reportedly spotted house-hunting in LA.
This brings the footballer
one step closer to becoming the Hollywood star
that he dresses like.
