and xabi alonso has done it too.. watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyVuALqj6c

and beckham is an exceptional talent.. he wasnt just a free-kick player.. of course, his free kick is amazing.. but if he only can do free kick, no way he could get noticed when he first sign up for manchester united football academy.. and without other skills, there is no way beckham would have come this far: getting number 10 jersey in Man United, getting number 7 later on (cantona’s number), going to real madrid, etc.. we should give more credits to beckham.. and he is an effective player; you dont have to run around to be a good player.. and besides, he is getting older.. being that old, a lot of players are retired already.. giggs, scholes, and gary neville (his teammates from manchester united (all of them are still in man united)) are about to retire already.. and yet, beckham is still playing full matches and is still doing international games with england..

he deserves more than what people think; thats the point im trying to make..

I never said he wasn’t a decent player, I said he’s nothing special.

I can tell the level of the defense by using my eyes.

[quote comment="18689"]Chelsea came to America to play the LA Galaxy. If their defending is hilariously poor then why couldnt Chelsea score more than one goal? Maybe their attack is hiariously poor.[/quote]

Or maybe because they had 11 platers behind the ball.

[quote comment="18689"]THere is a difference between being on the field and standing among the crowd to say, you know what, English league is better than Italian or Italian league is better than english. Go down there and play then comment that this league is poor.[/quote]

If you know anything about football then you can judge the level of play you’re watching without being down there. If you couldn’t then football fans would have nothing to talk about.

The MLS is a **** league at this point, the attacking play looks half decent but that’s only because the defending is hilariously poor. Dempsey is nothing special, so I’m not sure what your point is there.
