Beckham scores $250 million contract!

American soccer is about to get a real makeover. David Beckham, the well known English soccer player, has just scored a $250 million contract over 5 years. That translates into a pay of $1 million a week, yes, a week. Beckham, who is married to Spice girl (remember the Spice Girl's?), Posh Spice, will play for the LA Galaxy. As a kid who grew up playing soccer, and loving it, I am axious to see if this signing of Beckham spurs the growth of interest in futbal (as it is referred to everywhere else) or soccer, if you choose.
