David Beckham

By Shadlee Rahman After my recent look at Groups A and B, it is time for us to switch gears and have a look at Group C, one that pits perennial underachievers England with the improving discipline of the USA, the silky skills of Algeria, and European makeweights Slovenia. It should, in all probability, be a str...

By Austin Lindberg There is no bigger international soccer presence in the U.S. than the Barclays Premier League of England.  It's a publicist's dream: The U.S. plays England, home to the biggest players of the world, the holy grail for American players, the Landon Donovan and David Beckham subplot.

In the first round for England, captain David Beckham went up to the spot against Ricardo Pereira and as he ran up to take his penalty, the pitch appeared ...

By Christopher Kamrani No, it's not the Los Angeles Galaxy. The most-recognized signing in the history of the league, David Beckham will be gunning for his first piece of MLS hardware. The best U.S. soccer player of all time, Landon Donovan will be hungry for his first in five seasons. 

By Alex Dimond Instead of 2010, the FA is looking to 2018, when they hope they can bring the World Cup back to England for the first time in 52 years. David Beckham. But while Bobby Moore may have won the World Cup, David Beckham might yet bring the whole tournament to England.

By Phil Shore The Sounders may also be the single most popular club in MLS, even more so than David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy. While the team was unable to play for the MLS Cup, they did win the U.S. Open Cup , a tournament played amongst all the professional soccer clubs based in the United States of Am...

By Kieran Beckles David Beckham, who moved to Real Madrid in 2003, became the first foreign footballer to take advantage of the 24 percent income tax and subsequently it soon became known as the "Beckham Act." Real Madrid striking legend Raul has contradicted the opinion of his director general, stating h...

By Scott Hansen Owen has big boots to fill to wear the number of so many club legends like George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, and Ronaldo. Tevez’s picture was on the sign with the words “Welcome to Manchester”, clearly an attack on Manchester United.

By Markus Winestone But we have to give the greatest all sports network in the world some credit.  Slowly but surely, I've noticed the game reports and highlights trickle in.  I've seen Champions League results scroll by on the ticker.  Cristiano Ronaldo's record transfer to Real Madrid even made THE LEAD!

By Brad Carroll LA Galaxy fans are angry that David Beckham accepted an offer to play with AC Milan while still under contract to Galaxy, and rightly so. After all, Beckham's contract with Galaxy is valued at $250 million, and nobody likes the idea that they've thrown away good money on a lemon.

By Jonathan Mathis Sure enough, Beckham migrating to Europe is the preferred alternative, when taunting gestures and boos indicated he isn’t wanted in America. Finally, it has reached the last of Beckham and fame has obliterated. Citizens of America, no longer cares where Beckham leaves to as long as he wav...

By Andrew Jordan Recently, ESPN has started to make its move into the water's of European football. After losing their rights to the UEFA Champions League in May to Fox Soccer Channel in America, the sports giant bought broadcasting rights to La Liga in the United States, which is the English Premier Lea...

By Barney Beckham's big-name status was confirmed when he left Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2003. The £23 million transfer fee was repaid within days from shirt sales in Asia alone. But is he as big as David Beckham was when he left Manchester United?

By chris With or without Beckham, we yawn. David Beckham arrived in America to one of the biggest receptions for a British import since the Beatles landed in New York some 43 years ago. Except for the Galaxy, our teams haven't had the money to lure top international stars to play in Major League Soccer.

By Zahi Sahli 8. Anderson (Manchester United, EPL)  7. John Obi Mikel (Chelsea, EPL) 5. David James (Portsmouth, EPL) 4. Michael Owen (Newcastle, EPL)   3. Fernando Gago (Real Madrid, La Liga) 2. Ashley Cole (Chelsea, EPL) 1. David Beckham (LA Galaxy, MLS)

By Tomi Salvucci Why do we need David Beckham to help grow soccer in America?  A 30-something Beckham is as interesting as an 80-year old Spice Girl.  It's not because people in America don't like or appreciate the game.  I watch the Premier League every week as well as Champions League and Series A.  Million...

By TheRepublikOfMancunia “Last season everyone saw what he did for Manchester United. The fans love him and there would be a lot of disappointed people if he did leave Manchester. But obviously, when I left Manchester United the only club I wanted to play for was Real Madrid.”

By Edward Quinn Now Fabio Capello could have used Steven Gerrard or Rio Ferdinand as captain for the Trinidad game, or plumped for Villa captain Gareth Barry. Instead, he has given it to David Beckham. Now Capello will have used John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham as England captai...
