Championship or nothing.
Latest news is that his MLS official contract is 5yrs/$51M (10.2M per season). The balance to get the $199M is from endorsements, etc
That is still a sick package.

I just don't think most people in the United States are ever going to be big fans of soccer. I lived in Italy for four years and the fans go nuts for it, but people here just don't seem to appreciate the game and think that if you don't score tons of goals it is not worth watching.
I so want to bang Beckham's wife
Americans don't like soccer for a simple reason, it's boring. We have come up with more entertaining games. Sure there are exciting moments, but for the most part nothing happens except guys falling as if they've been shot by a howitzer.
The only way soccer has a chance of catching here is if the best players in the world come to America to play, and that's not happening. Instead, we get the superstars who are washed up and come here for their final act.
This Beckham signing is simply him trying to make some type of transition to Hollywood, as everyone is tiring of him in Europe. This wil be a non story soon enough, as again NO ONE CARES ABOUT SOCCER.
Never mind yer tough WC group try Scotlands EURO2008 one -
Italy
France
Ukraine
Hmm world cup finalists and a team in the last 8
But...... we are winning the group :D :D :D

I agree 100% with what Totore says. You have no clue of what you are talking about. Soccer is the number one sport in the World...that is a fact.
4th strongest sport? I will say 5th, as Golf is more attractive than Hockey and Soccer currently in the US. As long as Tiger Woods is active, it will remain that way.it will, from the very fact that this news made it to be big in ESPN and SI, from how the WC was followed so strongly in an american Football forum...
Soccer will replace hockey as the 4th strongest sport in america, specially as the latino populace keeps on growing. And as the youth of america that is playing more soccer.
Not sure if I agree that ALL AMERICANS don't care about soccer; I'm sure atleast 5% of the United States watch it, but I agree with most of what you said.Americans don't like soccer for a simple reason, it's boring.

Soccer won't be big in America because of David Beckham. Untill the United States wins the World Cup (), then I think that will win over some fans.
It's just not our sport and it's not popular. Just like the NFL isn't very popular in Europe.
If you don't care about soccer then why the hell are you posting in a soccer thread?
I have no interest what so ever in the NBA (bores me to tears) or NASCAR (yeeeeehawwwwwww.....turn left) but I've never posted in any NASCAR or NBA related thread. Something I've never understood, people posting in a thread when they have ZERO interest in the subject matter.
