Plus, Hollywood is in LA, which I suspect he's more interested in now than actually playing football.

I think he has a lot to offer a side in the American league - he can still cross a mean ball and his free kicks are still good

He's 31. There's players that have a few years on him that play for the better clubs in the world. Even though I loathe the MLS, he still should have waited a few years to have gone there. The US is a place to go if you have nothing better and your legs are shot.

On a side note, I heard Real Madrid is getting rid of Ronaldo as well. Rumour is he'll end up on the New York Red Bulls.

That's almost a perfect age for a pro athlete.

He wasn't great during the World Cup, but England as a team were the ones that laid an egg (as usual). Beckham scored the winning goal against Ecuador, and created many scoring chances for his teammates. IMO, Frank Lampard was the biggest joke for them in the WC.
