David Beckham (LA Galaxy) is in Seoul as part of their worldwide tour to promote Beckman U.S. football.
With all eyes on Beckham, it seems that the rest of the LA Galaxy is conveniently missing. But, let’s be brutally honest, no one cares about ‘soccer’ in the U.S. – not even people in the U.S. It’s sad to see that they are trying to promote U.S. soccer to the rest of the world.
The press conference was held at Lotte Hotel. This is Beckham’s 2nd trip to Korea since the 2002 World Cup.
Check out his interview here.
Pop in:
Beyonce hearts her fans
Why the hell is Paris Hilton in Seoul?
Paris is hot
Amerie in Seoul but concert canceled
no one cares about soccer in the US. everyone in the US only cares about football. right??
anyways, i find it rather odd to see him in seoul. But soccer is VERY POPULAR in korea
so maybe thats why??
well im not a beckham fan so… yeaaa..
lol
shoot i’ll be honest i don’t care much for “football” as well. The only “football” i care for it NFL football. other than that I’ll pass.
yum.
he is one sweeet candy.
Blahblahbon- American football should be called fruitball??? wtf.That was lame. This years Super Bowl was watched by almost 98 Million people and was very exciting. I have nothing against soccer but the reason the rest of the world loves soccer so much cause most of them are third world countries and soccer is a cheap (meaning you don’t need to much funds) sport to play.
“but the reason the rest of the world loves soccer so much cause most of them are third world countries and soccer is a cheap (meaning you don’t need to much funds) sport to play”
If that is true, England, Japan and the rest of the world that aren’t third countries should be lovin American football by now. You can play flag football or just play catch with the ball without all the funding you’re talking about either. I really doubt money is the reason. I have nothing against American football either, but it revolves around commercialism and excessive money spending, and sadly, all of that is a part of the American culture. Most Americans have the mentality that if it’s not part of my culture, I don’t care about it.
backham looks so byuntae ahjuhsi in this picture
i hope david beckham teaches koreans how to use a garage can. koreans litter too much. koreans need to promote their food.
marmalade-
I see your point but seriously comparing flag football to football. ???
I was just saying it is more cost effective to play (the rest of the world) football than American Football.
Last year pre season exhibition game was held in London and it was sold out. yes I do know that there were Americans at that game.
Yes, yes everyone hates America and Americans.
beckham looks unhappy. if he could only smile, he’d be more gorgeous and handsome.
I thought you meant that people can play it on the streets for fun, therefore, it’s widely popular. The comparison to flag football was to illustrate that American football can also be played as a past time. So if you’re only talking about playing the sport in as a profession, I doubt there’s a big difference in the amount of necessary funding. You know, sans the big screen board, fireworks and the half-time circus show.
I would give you this, football has a long standing history all over the world, whereas American football was just invented (based on rugby) in the 19th century. That’s part of the reason American football is only popular in the US, and perhaps, why it’s recognized in London.
Lastly, the rest of the world doesn’t hate America and all Americans, don’t give yourselves that much credit, they just think some of their attitude stinks.
^ No, everybody hates America
Hmmm, I can count as one of the people who don’t care about soccer in the U.S.
