LA Galaxy and Alexie Lalas

I don’t know if any of you remember but this man is Alexie Lalas, a former US football team defender and now the guy in charge of LA Galaxy -  the team that bought David Beckham for a preposterous amount of money. Anyway he was a piss-poor defender and it seems also a piss-poor pundit. He just said that he doesn’t know why people think Beckham is going to end his career in the US. According to him US “soccer” is expanding massively, and is just as good as anywhere else in the world. Beckham is going to come to the States and after a few years make a huge comeback in the England squad”. What planet does this guy live on?!

David Beckham moves to America – but not for the money!

David Beckham, designer football player, husband to a strange woman, father to children with wierd names, football player of above average skill and purveyor of crappy perfume has announced that he will be moving to America to play soccer in a deal worth around 125 million pounds. He also mentioned that he “is not moving there for the money”. I really believe him.

However I really wish him all the best. I think that as a role model (notwithstanding his dumb haircuts of course) the man has really stood out from all other celebrities. He has a strong marriage (where others flop), he spends time with his children (where others don’t know who they are) and he gets on fantastically well with his wife (who looks like an anorexic porker). I really really hope that the Americans realise that their money went down the pan and that no athlete is worth 125 million but that nothing bad happens to the Beckhams and that they somehow mature into more human humans.
