Soccer in the United States is like the stepchild of sports. It is the most popular sport in the world and people here just don't appreciate it as they should. David Beckham has brought a lot of celebrity attention with his move from England to Los Angeles. He is best known for being an amazing soccer player with Real Madrid and being one half of the beautiful couple known as David and Victoria Beckham. With fame surrounding him it is easy to see why he's caught the attention of so many Americans.
As for his new teammates on the Los Angeles Galaxy it might be hard to deal with the huge difference some face in pay but ultimately they all benefit from his presence and skill.

Head coach Ruud Gullit has moved Beckham to right midfield. He played center midfield following his injuries when he arrived in L.A. The right side is where Beckham has a history of powerful crosses and assists. We will soon see how the team dynamic changes with him out of the center. Those who couldn't care less about the sport will at least watch for him.

I agree...But when you have sports like football and college basketball, it's hard to pay attention to a sport where there's a lot less action. Don't get me wrong, I'd watch soccer but by no means does it have the same intensity as other sports in this country. Beckham should help that fact if he ever gets healthy again.
That was an impressive video. I find it very interesting that literally the rest of the world is in love with soccer ( which they call Football ) and the U.S. is in love with a totally different game also named football.
