Beckham wants to end career in US

[/size]
   
England captain David Beckham says he would like to end his career playing in Major League Soccer in the US.

Beckham, who still has one year to run on his contract at Real Madrid, wants to spend three more seasons in Spain and perhaps move to America in 2009.

"At some stage, playing in America is possible," said the 30-year-old, who recently opened football academies in his native London and also Los Angeles.

"For me, America's so passionate and I'd like to be a part of that."

Beckham's three-year stay at Real has yet to yield any significant silverware, but the former Manchester United star could be on the verge of signing a new deal at the Bernabeu.

"I've one year left at Real, and maybe two more after that, but things can change in football and the American league does interest me," added Beckham in an interview with ESPN.

"I want to be part of a country that is passionate about sport. I've got my academy in LA which is important to me because that is my life after the game.

"America for me is one of the most passionate places. There is an incredible feeling around the country.

"I always mention when I'm asked about America about how you can walk down the street and everyone has got the stars and stripes flying in front of their house."

On a DVD i have with Beckham.... I have many but i think it is either Bye Bye Becks or My Story. He said that he will love to play football in the US. He said that the first time he play a game over here he was honored and stated he would love to promote the game over here.

you also forgetting that players can actually have lives in the US, loads of premiership footballers go on holiday to the states as they can walk down the road relatively unharassed.

I never thought of that.  That is very true.

So what. By the time 2009, David would not be the same David. He would be a run down star. At least i think so. The MLS is doing a good job of getting Vets to come into the league and give it some recognition. Good for them though.

Beckham has had an obsession with the US for a very long time (& vice versa); in particular NY, which is one of the reasons he named his first child Brooklyn, as opposed to Rome or some European city. What other footballer have you ever seen walking down the red carpet of the MTV movie awards?!?

I myself remember walking down the road in Pennsylvania  a time with a beckham T shirt on and these girls ran up to me and were screaming as if I was David Beckham; wanting to know if I knew him and where I got the T-shirt...it was hilarious..  it just goes to  show he has audience in the US market albeit not necessarily for his footballing prowess.; I can DEFINITELY seeing him settling down in somewhere like NY or MIA or better yet LA!
