Beckham has been a huge disappointment...I think mainly because #1 He came in by himself #2 He's not a player that the average Joe can watch and appreciate.

I think the MLS has done a GREAT job of building up talent...but hell there isn't a SINGLE team in the Southeast, not in Atlanta, not in Virginia, not in NC....we're waiting for some good soccer here and we're being denied!! One of the United States' best players Eddie Pope, came from NC. I think he could have played overseas easily, quality player! Shame he didn't get the chance to play closer to home though.
