Ask about Beckham to English people, and you'll get all good stories you want to know.

Reporters write about Becks' charisma in and out of footba......... ups!.... soccer field. Can his charming get Americans attentions to soccer?

AP writes ...."David Beckham had it in his native England. But is it transferable to America? And, if it is, does he have enough of it to outshine other mega-celebrities in L.A. and lift the fortunes of an entire sport that Americans never have embraced at the professional level?"

When Pele arrived in the United States in 1972, he led the New York Cosmos to a North American Soccer League championship, but he couldn't pull Americans from watching baseball, football and basketball.

More than 30 years later, nowaday, Beckham could do what Pele couldn't. The secret is not the soccer, he backed up by Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham and ESPN.

He is handsome, his wife is a superstar who attracts attention! ESPN has exclusive program to cover his debut with L.A. Galaxy. Motorola, a US icon, launchs special promo. So, every body know Beckham Now.

No wonder Jose Mourinho (Chelsea FC manager) could understand on Beckham decision to move to US.

Go Beckham! Viva soccer!!!
