David Beckam is over-rated

David Beckham is the most over-rated player in all of sports. Everyone thought he was good simply because he could "bend" his shots and because he played for Manchester United. Although some people may say he's passed his prime now, he's as good as he ever was. He plays for LA Galaxy, the "best" team in the American MLS (Major League Soccer), which lost to our own Vancouver Whitecaps (who are joining the MLS next year, finally). It's not that Beckham isn't a good player, I would even say he is above average, but he's not the greatest player in soccer, just one of the highest paid, but he rarely lives up to his over exaggerated reputation. He has been runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year twice and has never won, rightfully so.
