Listen bro, I am football deprived. I don't hate the MLS I am just critical about it. I am critical about the Serbian league even more and I will only watch a few games a season there. I wish teh best for the MLS league because with GREAT football in this country I would never want to leave this place. But you can't be telling yourself a lie that something is good if it isn't, thats not in Balkan blood. Just like when you go to a youth football match in the USA, all of the American soccer moms will be telling the kids, "ohh good job" "good try" "good game" even if the kids suck.
Where I come from your parents will bring you to your tears if you suck and rarely will you ever get a compliment even if you are the wonder kid of the league. Meanwhile here, you get Freddy Adu and you put the label of "Next Pele" at him at age 14, while really he is just another show pony until he truely proves anything which half a decade later he has still to do.
Instant star power with Beckham? you have to be lying to yourself and than fooling yourself to believe that
Football is a sport off 11. If 10 are terrible and 1 is good there is no use for that player. I see football like a poetry or musical instrument. If the guitar should have 11 strings and all are cut but one, that guitar will not produce any flow or melody whatever it is called. I have yet to see a player in football that can alone change a team and a league into a super super league.
Not to mention that Beckham is more of a instant Celebrity power, that football star. Although he does have some exceptional football talents.
