Soccer bends for Beckham

Why am I soooo not surprised by this.. Those from the UK will know exactly what I'm talking about.. I'm just wondering exactly where the US Beckingham Palace is going to be....

A MAN named Simon Fuller is gloating. "I have always dreamt of being responsible for sport's biggest deal," he says. "And now I have."
He has just finished selling David Beckham to America, promising them that the man with the squeaky voice and Spice Girl wife will do for "sah-kurr" what the Beatles did for pop music: Make it rock.

Fuller has just secured the pop icon who happens to be a footballer a five-year deal worth US$250 million ($386 million) to end his career at Los Angeles Galaxy.
It's fitting, too, that the deal should have been brokered for a footballer by Fuller, a man who once put five girls on stage together — never mind that they couldn't sing — and created a sensation called the Spice Girls.
