I didn’t say he could control the fans. But they brought him over here at great expense as a draw, and he didn’t draw, that would make him a bust.

perhaps from a business perspective he was a bust. but that's the teams fault. not his. but beckham is still a great player. Pele couldnt make america a soccer country. it just ain't gonna happen! ever!
we all play soccer as kids but we grow out of it and go on to play other sports. soccer is just not a game that americans identify with. football is a perfect american game. soccer is european and south american.
