Do you,s think football /scoccer will become as big a sport as baseball or basketball in america after David Beckham joining LA Galaxy

It seems like he,s going to fill the stadium week in and week out it would be good to have america really take part in the world cup

I just didn't think many Americans liked football. You all seem to enjoy sports that only involves other Americans. Maybe this isn't the case though and I think it would be pretty awesome if America formed a decent team, but seeing as football isn't a major sport there, it may take some time.

once the kids start practicing there skills they seen beckham do in the street,s it should take off im sure

They all have a little bit more of an intrest now both men and women over there, and if the kids like him and want to play like him the way diego maradona made me want 2 play as a kid it will be massive over there

Gordie best went there in the 70,s mybe the best player ever and it dident kick of and i think pele was even there im not sure on that 1 but i think beckhams name is enough its like Nike or somthing like some super star brand

I,ll add all he can do is kick a dead ball,s and look good lol and make a team be supported world wide the chinese spend millions and millions on him

Yes, but David Beckham is really, really, really good looking.

Don't underestimate his aesthetic appeal.

Sorry it will never happen. The only people who care about Beckham are Spice Girl fans. We americans like contact sports. It's strange, american football didn't work over there and soccer will never work over here. American Football is huge over here...HUGE. I love hockey, not many americans. Soccer is a hard sport, a real sport it's big at the high school level but after that not so big. It moves slow and nobody cares over here. I live in Philly and we have had a team forever, never ever is it even talked about.

Mark my words Beckham won't even make a dent, what soccer league is he in? Is it indoor or outdoor?

Here in america baseball is called our american pastime, but american football is more popular. Basketball is declining, but soccer won't even get close. Like I said though lots of soccer is played but you rarely ever see pro soccer on the tube. I know how you feel about soccer in Europe...for some reason it doesn't translate here. The talk about Beckham is almost non exisistant over here.

Suppose you,s must be right then americans just dont get football But i dident know LA had a football team.
Now La galaxy are known world wide and they are in european papers daily mainly england and spain but all of europe have intrest or at least know about it seems a very big change already

i remember the world cup usa 1990 and janet jackson sang some song and had to kick the ball into the net and missed and the net fell down lol footballs not ment to be hyped up like american football

If its only high school kids that play footy out there
Then i think you are right it will not happen most great footballers learn to play in the streets were they live in mostly tough working class areas and thats were the support and passion come for that club

its like how black people are the best at basketball in the US they live it on there streets and dont need some school coach to show them how do it

if black americans took to football i think we would have something special
