You can ask anyone in the United States who is a famous soccer player and one of the first ones that will pop into their minds is David Beckham. This is due to the fact that he is the man that helped bring popularity and fans to Major League Soccer (MLS). When he came over from England to play for the LA Galaxy, his main purpose of being there, besides winning, was to bring fans and notoriety to professional soccer in the US and he did just that. Soccer players, like myself, owe a great deal of thanks to David Beckham because he sparked and inspired the sport of soccer to be pursued and perfected by Americans. Many countries around the world are way ahead of us in terms of how many stars and soccer players they produce but we are finally starting to catch up. Beckham was a huge part in this catch up and after playing his last game in America it is time for us all to say thank you. Personally, I wish him the best in his future endeavors and I hope he returns one day and make an appearance as a MLS soccer legend.
