« David Beckham to MLS: Mas Macho! »

David Bechkam, former Captain of the England soccer team, confirmed that he will join the LA Galaxy on a five-year deal worth more than $250 million in salary and commercial endorsements and is "thought to be the biggest in sporting history" at the end of his Real Madrid contract this summer. This gutsy and manly move achieved David Beckham the honor of the January 2007 Mas Macho Man of the Month!

"This week Real Madrid asked me to make a decision regarding my future and the offer to extend my contract for a further two seasons," said Beckham. "After discussing several options with my family and advisers to either stay here at Madrid or join other major British and European clubs, I have decided to join the Los Angeles Galaxy and play in the MLS from August this year.

"I would like to thank the supporters and people of Madrid who have made my family and I feel so welcome in my time here, making this an extremely difficult decision to make. I have enjoyed my time in Spain enormously and I am extremely grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to play for such a great team and their amazing fans."

I am sure that America will welcome you warmly David once you explain to them what soccer is all about. The men of Mas Macho plan to help out in any way that we can. Good luck!

Hope that Beckam can shape up the wimpy American soccer teams and bring the coveted 2010 FIFA World Cup back home! If not, I recommend cashing him to the modelling industry to recoup his salary money!
