Posh and Becks.. does anybody care??
soccer.. um... well.... its like the metric system..cool..yeah neat.. yeah um... technically better than our way...but umm... nah....thanks anyway.... too european to reallllllly adopt...
Americans... (not urban dwelling city folks who THINK they are representative americans) dont get it.... and they dont care...they just dont care how the REST OF THE WORLD does it..
middle America and soccer.... is like Bush in the white house....
just not gonna care what the whole rest of the freaking planet does/says...
we do it OUR WAY.....
so media dudes...please just shut up!! for gods sake...
nobody can understand her....
and nobody is gonna flock to the football oops i mean soccer fields...
the Becks will give it their best shot ..and i wish em luck... but ... america is tricky...
its not as easy to conquer as a press tour and media blitz...
it seems a bit of a slap in the head to all the folks that have worked soooo hard to bring soccer to the US and who have made great strides...to assume that a hot british couple are all it takes to make americans line up with ticket money...
its gonna take more than beautiful people with curious accents..
its gonna take a generation that gives a shit....

or...maybe they could just continuously play that uber violent yet sexy clip of the sexiest french man i ever saw zidane world cup head but.. .. i dont care what anybody says..that was hot.. and im a freaking soccer fanatic since!!
Posh scares me. She's like a mannequin dipped in bronze. There is nothing soft and feminine about her.

this is all about personal branding. MLS, the LA Galaxy, David Beckham and Posh all get significant upticks in their name equity. now, Beckham has to deliver by drawing ticket sales/merch and Posh has to pony up a reality TV show or an album or a DUI (ode to Paris) or something so they can both stay on the A list.
having lived in LA, I know exactly what is going on here and it ain't just soccer. this 'it' couple has plenty of time to work over the US.
sometimes I miss that lifestyle...sometimes.

prescience is a wonderful thing. Wikipedia and Access Hollywood say Posh signed a deal for a reality show that airs tonight. so there you go.

didnt care for it...
HOWEVER... found a really great youtube video of ALi G interviewing the couple a few years ago...

I just dont think all those square shaped middle states is gonna fall for it..LA will eat whatever is hot...
