Why was Beckham opening a soccer school in BRAZIL?
Something just struck me about the whole “Beckham dropped” story. David Beckham was in Brazil today, promoting one of his soccer academies. Why would Brazilian youths need to learn about football from an Englishman? What in god’s name is he going to teach them?
“Alright lads, now we’re going to learn about thumping a long ball upfield…”

I read he is in Argentina opening his school.




Yes, I am not sure how he will do. I mean, come one, he is not a great player. He is popular but not great. Maybe is not him, but his grs, the MLS tying to recoup some of their money. But what an insult to Brasil!

I read somwhere that he’s just trying to give Brazilian kids a top-quality place to play in.

I disagree, joaquin, I think that Beckham is a top quality player, or at least he’s good enough to be a major influence on England, Manchester Uited, and Real Madrid(when he at the last two clubs). Yes, he may not be a trick pony but you’ll be hard pressed to find a far superior master of the dead ball. But, then this isn’t the place to discuss Beckham’s ability, though everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I’d agree with George though, it’s probably less of a school and more of a way to give the youths something to do, and a way to get them off the street, perhaps.
