I dont think man utd needed to buy an american player to make their club more well known in the U.S.A.  I bet if you asked n e american teenager to name a football club from england they wud say Man utd.  He is a good keeper and Ferguson bought him knowing that he was a good keeper.  Keller, Fridel, nowwww Tim Howard.  

Beckham will get Madrid loads of money from Asia and that prob a reason they bought him, because beckhams face can appear on n e product in China, japan etc and whatever the product is it will prob sell just because beckham face is on it.  I doubt sticking Tim Howards face on a bottle of shampoo is gunna sell alot in America.  

No doubt a few shirts  will sell in America with Howard on the back but apart from that I cant see how Man Utd are gunna make the kind of money off howard that Madrid will make off beckham.  The comparison of the players is in totally different worlds.

Um... no.  Honestly, most americans have no idea what football clubs are from england.  I know about Manchester, but I think that's because Oasis are always pulling for them.  

1.  Who are "Man U"?

2.  Donnelly is going to be fuming about Trauma's post.

city, Manchester city, nobody knows your name.

3.  He is a quality keeper that's why we signed him.

And Bez, Beckham makes a lot of money for himself in the far east, but very little for the clubs he plays for.

i believe he means how trauma didnt know that oasis didnt support man u, but actually support man city

So, there's two teams from Manchester?  See, things are just totally different over there.  I guess not too much, is Manchester huge?  For instance, we have two baseball teams in New York, etc.  

I dunno why americans don't like Soccer.  It's probably just that it's a european thing, that's flourished over there and we haven't gotten into the league or whatever yall call it, so it never took off over here like it has over there.

ON a political note, and i'm serious.  I think this way.  Most teachers in high school in america are pretty liberal, and liberals are all about the united states being culturally diverse, and a member of the 'world community'.  What I'm getting at is, in America, almost ever high school has a soccer team, started mainly by these same liberal teachers; (I could care less, more sports is good in my mind).  but yet nobody watches or pays attention to anything but high school soccer.  Strange, heh?
