Bend It Like Beckham!

What do you think about David Beckham coming to the United States to play football (soccer) for the LA Galaxy? This reminds of Pele' coming from Brazil to play for the New York Cosmos of the NASL in the 70's. Do you think that he is the kind of impact player the MSL needs in order to boost soccer's popularity in the United States? Beckham is earning 250 million dollars for this endeavor, that may be enough to convince me to play in America.

Below is someone who is also worth 250 million in my book. Mr. Poole, the assistant principal at Jackson Elementary. He is from across the "pond" (England) and loves to play, watch, and officiate soccer. I have seen him on the pitch and he can "Bend It Like Beckham" too. However, Mr. Z can out drive him off the tee box in golf!
