I noticed that the Major League Soccer federation from the United States had stopped having a restriction on the salary of their players at the end of their last season and it got me thinking.
I realised there and then that this action was to pave the way for David Beckham to join the ranks of US soccer.
The player has his football academy on the site of the Los Angeles Galaxy football team and I was telling everyone that he would sign for them once his contract at Real Madrid was up.
I was right!
He signed a deal that will pay him £128 Million over five years and will surely be his final big money contracr as a player.
People are critical of this price and I tend to agree but - looking at the positives - it will bring a lot of attention to a league that is eleven years old. A lot will be gained from the mainstream appeal of Beckham.
I hope that there is going to be television deals of the MLS in this country. I have made bets on the matches quite a bit over the years and it would be great to watch the games on the box rather than listening to audio streams over the internet.
