I love sheva as much as the next guy, but i don't think it's appropriate to compare him to beckham. I mean, they don't even play the same positions. Are you telling me that Sheva is a better dead ball specialist than Beckham? Not in this lifetime. Hey Tony.

Highly unlikely. Beckham is good and is a star in the MLS. Shevchenko is much better then Beckham was and will ever be. So, I don't think he will have a problem. Also, he is the 3rd highest goal scorer in Champions League history and oh ya, Footballer of the year (ballon d'or) in '04. I don’t believe that no team in the MLS want him. Highly unlikely.

New York have the extra 'Beckham rule' slot, but they've already got Angel/Altidore up top. LA have no room for him. DC United, Columbus, Kansas City, and Chicago have all used their Beckham rule (though DC have also acquired Colorado's). Maybe Toronto? Although they hardly need a box-office attraction. Anyway, the more successful teams are using young US players, or raiding Latin America (or Africa, as Steve Nicol has begun doing in New England). For the most part, we're turning away from European players, except those that can fit a role and come cheaply (we now have almost as many players from Argentina as from all of Europe; and of the 21 non-North-American players who signed between the MLS championship game and the start of the season, 18 were Latin Americans). It's more likely that Martin Palermo will come here than Sheva. The Latin Americans actually give a damn, unlike most of the high-priced Europeans that have come here.
