There's no suggestion that you're not in the draw, you just have to
buy before November 21 as you (and I) obviously have. To be
honest I hope I don't win the chance to watch Friday's game with
the LA Galaxy because as well as knowing almost everything about
football I also can't shut up, hence would give them all the inside
info on beating the Phoenix, winning the MLS, and eventually the
World Club Championship (defeating Waitakere United in the
final). I'd end up regretting it.

Surely the 'ultimate Beckham experience' is to be paid a fortune to
live off your former glories, shag some slapper and be forgiven by
your wife, be treated like royalty, take a couple of free-kicks and
get injured a lot.

Mr Beckham has been called up to the England squad for the friendly
against Austria and the Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia.
Obviously someone thinks his former glories are his current
glories....

Croatia to decimate England with an Eduardo hat-trick - you heard

I also heard it on this forum that the Nix were going to beat the
Roar 2-1. ("I've got a feeling about this one" etc.) So
we can expect a comfortable England victory then?

Called up by a plank who's fumbling around looking desperately
for a miracle. As for his current glories... If he
still had the requisite ability he'd be playing in the EPL, SerieA
or the Primera, not touring the world as part of some kind of
Football Circus.

Benjamin, was it not you that told us all that George Paladini would be the Nix top scorer this year?
Hmmmm....
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

He would have been if he got some starts and didn't get released.

So are us fans that have bought our tickets when they first came
out in this draw?

Benjamin, was it not you that told us all that George Paladini would be the Nix top scorer this year?
Hmmmm....
Guilty as
charged... If George had been half the player he was when I
saw him pre-Portgual (and if he had been played regularly as a
striker, rather than in 15 minute bursts as an attacking
midfielder), he'd have done the business... Unfortunately, he
wasn't... He appeared well past his best, dissinterested, and
only out for a pay day... Something about that seems very
appropriate to my comments on Beckham though, so thanks for
bringing it up. Don't get me wrong about Becks, a wonderful player in his
prime - once of the best in the world, at the time - but now a
shadow of his best, playing for a Mickey Mouse side... I just
struggle to understand why so many (both in Wellington and Sydney)
are hyped up to watch him jog around for 60 minutes and whack a
couple of free kicks over the bar. I'd sooner watch the
A-League than a friendly anyday.
It really frustrates me that the Nix will get maybe 15k for a
league match yet an extra 20-25k will come out to see an
over-the-hill 'star' play.
Rant over.

The Beckham game will bring along many people who have never seen a
game of professional football live before.
Hopefully some of them will be converted; the spate of home games in December will also help ...

I'll pay out on that. Just as long as no one actually
believes they are actually going to see a world class player.

Real Madrid are the current La Liga champions. A number of
commentators attribute this success, in part, to Fabio Capello's
reintroduction of Beckham into the team. Maybe Spain is
considered a minor league by some, but I suggest Mr B has been
playing at the very top level in international football within the
last six months. Not quite an overweight, past-it hack.
IMHO.

Not a fan of Mr Beckham by any means, and I've got mixed feelings
about the Galaxy v 'Nix game, but I agree with
CF. Beckham has been playing at the highest level recently
and, whatever spin you might want to put on it, he is still a
current England International. I'm sure there would have been many
an EPL club wanting to sign him if he hadn't gone for the dollars.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Can you blame adidas for wanting to make a final push for profit on
their investment?
Ever wondered why Beckham signed for Madrid from Man
Ewe in the first place and why his number is 23?
You cant blame Real Madrid or LA Galaxy for paying obscene
amounts of money when they havent! adidas has backed both moves in
an effort to retain their #1 Status in Sporting Goods and it has
paid off.
I suspect that as a final two fingered gesture to Nike we may
one day see David Beckham take to the field wearing the number
45!!!
(Who was Michael Jordan anyway??? hehe)

You're right, he's not overweight.
He did well when he got back into the Real side last season,
sure - and his contribution definately helped them toward the
title... But in the 06 world cup he looked shot, and in the
first half of last season (until his rest), he looked shot.
He lost credibility when he opted to go to the US rather than
continue in a major Euro league, as there would no doubt have been
plenty of offers for his services one has to wonder why he opted
for the US rather than Italy, England or Spain? I suspect
that at the time, out of the Real team and dropped from England,
Becks honestly believed he was finished.
Since going to the US he's done nothing to impress in the
MLS. Played half a dozen games, scored 1 free-kick, I don't
think they've been able to pull up any footage of him doing
anything impressive in L.A.
He's back in the England squad out of desperation, and as an
Englishman, I hope he bangs in the crosses that help us to victory
against Austria and Croatia and give us a shot at the finals - but
I'm not holding my breath. In my opinion (which, I know,
carries zero weight) he'd currently be fourth choice (at best) on
the right wing for England.
That said, as I agreed earlier on, if his presence manages to
turn a few heads toward football, and that benefits the Nix, I'm
happy to accept it. I just don't like the idea of him getting
credit for creating interest in football in NZ after the Nix lads
have done so much to create something from nothing over the last
few months.

i can understand why beckham signed for LA at the time. Out of
favour under capello, not selected for england, oh yea and like
50million a year.
He's a good player but as many have pointed out probably not a
'world class' one anymore. World class player or not though he will
bring many a non-football fan along, something another better, less
high-profile player couldnt do.
For example I was talking to some people who said theyd
never been to a football game before but are going to the galaxy
game, i said id rather see kaka play and they replied 'who?'
I'm all for it in that it will get these people along, and
hopefully get them interested and keen to keep coming back, even if
Beckham isnt a great player anymore.
