More Mildly Becksish Soccer Notes

Over at Big Soccer, fans of the other teams are already appropriating anti-Beckham songs from his time with Manchester United. This is one from Everton FC fans, which the New England Fans feel they can appropriate because it mentions a well regarded former Rev:

Posh Spice is a slag
Posh Spice is a whore
And when she's shagging Beckham
she dreams of Joe-Max Moore!
Here's another one:

How do Posh's knickers fit?
Do-dah!
Do-Dah!
How do Posh's knickers fit?
Oh, do-dah-day!
As you see, there's a theme here. Here's another:

Ging-ers Hotter! (Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap)
Ging-ers Hotter! (Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap)
I always liked Mary Ann myself.

Those of you out there that are saying, "Hey, that is sooo mean!" don't know the sort of fan abuse he took from Liverpool fans when he was with Manchester United or Barcelona fans when he plays for Real Madrid. Heck, we're pikers.


In all the talk about Beckham, the story that was lost was that New England Revolution player Clint Dempsey was transfered to Fulham FC for the highest amount ever for an American player. Dempsey will be joining former Chicago Fire player Carlos Bocanegra and former Columbus Crew great Brian McBride on the Cottagers' squad.

I was watching Keith Olberman the other night and he gave a list of over the hill players who played over here. None of the players he named played in MLS, but played in the NASL. He complained that MLS isn't developing American players. Dempsey's transfer is proof that they are, in fact, doing so. The fact that none of the "stars" that he named has played in twenty years is probably a good indication that he isn't doing a good job of following the goings on in the sport.

(Salon's King Kaufman, no soccer fan himself, has a much more nuanced and knowledgeable criticism of the deal.)



And, in another note, Real Madrid's coach, Fabio Capello has announced that if David Beckham wants to play for Los Angeles so badly, then he won't see any more playing time for Los Merengues.

Not like the guy was getting a lot of playing time anyway.



Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

I would ask why they were making fun of Posh rather then Beckham but...

Besides, I have yet to get why he is apparently so popular. Not like he is that good looking.

What, you don't think Joe-Max and Clint Dempsey are cuties?
