"The No. 1 selling item in Sports Authority in the United States is the David Beckham jersey," said Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber But I'm still waiting to actually see him play. Beckham isn't my favorite player but it's like seeing a cool commercial for a T.V. show, watching the fist 16 minutes of it, then the power goes out. Where'd he go?

I'm not looking to buy a jersey either (they look pretty cool) but i'd likee to see it used you know. Especially right now when there isn't much soccer to watch. ESPN will be all over this guy. You guys have any comments on this because this is odd how one ankle can spoil the coming of a "star".

And also something I read about today in the Daily Globe-The 2006 WC final attracted more tv viewers than baseball's 2005 World sereis pulled in on any night and the MLS is th 12th most attended soccer league in the world.

That's pretty nice for a country in need of a soccer ambassador.
