Watching football just for the sake of watching it, is a good way of getting sick of the game.

From what you have commented so far, no wonder the Yanks don't like football.

Exactly. I'm always thinking to myself during these MLS games - "NOW i know why they hate "sawker" here"

Wait until Beckham gets there. It will be magical.

Xavier joins Galaxy. After parting ways with Boro, it seems the colourfull and experienced fullback has decided to join the American side on a year 1/2 deal, with an option for two more seasons.

Xavier has revealed this information in a press conference in which he states a conversation with England's David Beckham has had a major influence on his decision. Xavier claims he had optioins from England and Asia, but joining up with Becks is a big deal for him as he admires the Englishmen.

Looks like LA Galaxy are starting to use their sunny climate to their advantage, brining in some weird characters with pretty decent footballing abilities.

Go Galaxy! It will be a real coop, if the MLS Clubs can sign some decent players! Is this the real Becks effect?

btw, I have a voucher that can be redeemed for 2 home tickets to any one of 4 LA Galaxy home games coming up this summer...anyone interested in buying it?

Are you from the US?

I live there, yeah. But I'm far away from LA and don't have any plans of going there any time soon, so I figured someone else could use this.

Where about?

Maybe I'll catch a Toronto match this season, but I doubt it; they look just like Benfica...not a good thing.

In the Southeast, without getting too specific in case there are some strangers lurking around

So you get to enjoy the sunny weather...good stuff.

How long you been on this side of things?

Beckham will join in August, since his Madrid contract ends on July 31st.

Luso: Been here about 4 years now

Anyone heard Galaxy's plan to be making 100 million US a year within the next 3 years?

They're apparently planning a trip to Asia, following in the footsteps of the 'top' English sides.

It's a real shame the way football is going. Real clubs are counting their penies, and 'Galaxies' are paying out insane cash...

Juan Pablo Angel made his debut for NY Red Bull today. How did he do?
A goal and 2 assists, that's all (and without their best midfielder Reyna in the midfield).


Washed up striker in the Premiership, takes the MLS by storm. It's going to be interesting when Beckham finally joins, and if/when Fowler joins

Have you guys seen Toronto?

The fans are amazing, I think I've found my team in the MLS. Plus its only 1 hour drive from my home town Buffalo NY

actually he made his debut the week before, was pretty poor. and by european stats he only had 1 goal, the 2 assists are according to mls stats which give the person who gives the assist to the person who got the REAL assist, an assist.

Ahh ok, my mistake then. Still, I think he'll do well in the MLS.

he will, although galaxy is starting to build quite a squad. they have mls's best keeper and midfielder, along with becks and xavier and a pretty tall forward to knock in becks' crosses. although chicago fire still has to get blanco who has been AMAZING this season

Los Angeles Galaxy president Alexei Lalas has admitted David Beckham could be loaned out to a European club at the end of the Major League Soccer season, although his manager Frank Yallop does not agree.

David Beckham: Back in form, back with England and back in the headlines.

There have been suggestions that Beckham, who is joining the Galaxy in July on a five-year £125million contract, could return to Europe on loan in November with one of the leading clubs.

Moves to Spain, Italy and England - Newcastle are reportedly interested in a loan deal - have been hinted at.

Lalas is not necessarily against such a deal.

He told Sky Sports: 'We would always consider any possibility that would either make the player better as a soccer player and a more valuable asset, or playing with another team on loan if we felt it made proper business sense.'

However he added that players have a responsibility to 'maintain their physical and mental health'.

Yallop, though, believes rest and recuperation is the best policy for Beckham and all players when the season ends.

He said: 'It is a long season and a long pre-season. Players need that break. They will need to take a rest and I do not see any loan deal with David going anywhere.'

Yallop also concedes England manager Steve McClaren, who has called up Beckham for the friendly against Brazil on Friday and the Euro 2008 qualifier against Estonia, may well look to play the 32-year-old Real Madrid midfielder in further matches.

'He will assess how well he does and may want him to come back for further games,' said Yallop. 'We`ll cross that bridge when we come to it.'

Beckham`s contract with Madrid ends on June 30 and he is expected to take a short holiday before beginning his American adventure.

Lol Becks should of stayed @ Real!

Do Boston have a "Soccer" team? I'm going this year.

New England Revolution are based in Boston...their ground is Gillette Stadium, which is just outside of Boston. Check out www.revolutionsoccer.net for info.
