David Beckham
I’ve been told that I’m the biggest David Beckham fan people have ever met. I assure you that I don’t go gaga over his pics, but as a player he is everything you’d expect – extremely hard-working, talented, gives 110% every time and is flawed as well as simple genius.
Becks had an illustrious career with Manchester United before being kicked out by SAF and thrown Real Madrid‘s way, who then proceeded to shoot themselves in the foot by giving him a poor contract which led him to head towards LA Galaxy, where Becks will, in all likelihood, end his professional career.

MLS Increases Designated Player Slots
Major League Soccer just recently announced that the league would be adding two more designated player spots per team. This rule has been called the “Beckham Rule” by many because it was originally created to allow MLS teams a way around the salary caps that were imposed by the league. This rule change signals how far the MLS has come and gives an indication of where the league is headed.
