Beckham to LA, and Ronaldo?

Beckham has made a media splash in the US with his suprising announcement to sign for the MLS Los Angeles Galaxy (ironic the name). I think I can understand why he wants to go (Good friends with Tom Cruise, is drawn to Hollywood, wants to have a historical effect on American soccer, his wife was probably excited by the idea as well…) but I’m a bit suprised. At only 31 and with a few good football years left in him put an end to his career at the top level? His desire for fame must be greater than his desire for more football glory. And that’s ok if that’s what he wants, it’s not a critism. Good luck to him, hopefully he will have a big impact on the sport.

Capellos has apprently announced that Beckham will no longer play with Real Madrid since he has signed with another club. I respect Capello and his decisions but that’s no way to treat a player who has given his all in every match for the club (unlike other players who still get first team action). Also, this is the last chance for Beckham to win a major trophy with Real and he’ll be deprived of that opportunity. That’s not fair at all, not a way to treat players who have been great professionals.

Ronaldo is supposedly on his way out (and in the winter transfer window) also but Capellos hasn’t formally said it, he’s just made the comment that Ronaldo trains ‘regular’ as usual (in other words, without much effort) and that he wasn’t called up for the Cup match because of a slight knock.
