Fifth player review - David Beckham

He's arguably the most known player in soccer. He has always been a good scorer and a fan favorite. Among his many accomplishments he has been captain of England's national team, scored goals in three different FIFA World Cups and played in England, Spain and America.

After finishing up at Real Madrid Beckham did the unthinkable. He went to America to play soccer. Of course there was some money involved. He signed a contract with the LA Galaxy where he could make an approximately $250 million within his 5 year contract.

Even though he's playing in the U.S., Beckham still misses Europe. On October 30th Beckham confirmed that he will be playing for AC Milan on loan from his U.S. club.

Does this mean that Beckham wishes he was back in Europe? Does he regret selling his soul to the Americans? I think he does. He's seen the style of MLS soccer and it doesn't compare to the European. The money's great, but if the competition sucks it's not worth it.
