Fleur-de-lis, whatever you desire.
Regarding Beckham, am I wrong to think this is bad for the MLS? yeah yeah i know its their most popular player getting more exposure (as if he needed it, and as if milan games are just saturating american airwaves) but to me it seems like this sends a message to european players that if you come play in america, your national team career is going to die a slow painful death?
I see your point, Georger, and I do think the Becks leaving is bad for MLS, just not for the reason that you do. Look, Becks' national team career is fading because there are younger, better players (Walcott and Bentley) at his position, not because he plays in MLS. If he played at Madrid or ManU, it would likely be the same way. It's bad for MLS because it proves the level of competition is quite poor in comparison to other leagues. Better players aren't going to want to come here because they recognize that there's no challenges here.
And because most European clubs will pay them a lot more money.
whoa! the comment box changed.
it also doesn't help when MLS has its offseason while the rest of the world is still playing league games and WC qualifiers, international friendlies, etc. are played.
