My 12 year old German nephew just visited a 3 week long Brazilian football camp. He got it as a reward for not having missed a single match (Saturday mornings) this last year. You'd be amazed in what ways you can manipulate a ball / shot 😮😂 Fortunately he additionally has a proud auntie (me) who is living near Barcelona, so in his fall vacations he will be visiting me and we will watch a FC Barcelona match or at least a free training ⚽ As for David's fame....it didn't do any harm that he's got a handsome face and an athlete's body and he married (and is still married to) a Spice girl.... and when I met him in 2008 he was quite charming 😅

He has OCD. Which back then he channelled into perfecting the free kick. And he did. He was a specialist. He admitted he would just practice them over and over again for hours. Which is why you get what you’re seeing. He was a master at that perfect curve into the net. Truly talented.

David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE born 2 May 1975 is an English former professional footballer, the president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF and co-owner of Salford City. Primarily a right winger and known for his range of passing, crossing ability and free-kick taking, Beckham has been hailed as one of the greatest and most recognisable midfielders of his generation, as well as one of the best free-kick takers of all time. He won 19 major trophies in his career, and is the first English player to win league titles in four different countries: England, Spain, the United States and France.
@Rokurokubi83Ай бұрын
Beckham was a free-kick specialist. He actually played mid-field rather than striker, as a mid fielder he would pick out good tactical passes and get the ball upfield. He could land a ball at your feet from half a pitch away his accuracy was so good. He had great vision too, he created so many goal scoring opportunities for team mates by seeing an opening in the defence they can charge in to and placing the ball right where it needs to be for them to receive during the sprint.

As far as memory serves Beckham was the first proffesional to do the "over-halfway" goal in that way. Beckham was an ace player but was, in my opinion, known for sheer accuracy even at speed ie running. His ability to judge where the receivers foot will be when the ball arrived was unreal. I think one of the main reasons it isn't popular over there is the way the matches are structured. It seems on american tv that you have advertisements every 5 minutes or so. 2 halves of 45 minutes each and the whatever extra time needed. Nowhere in there really for the companies to make money.

If you want to see true magnificence from Bex, try and find the England -v- Greece game from the European championships, can’t remember the year but someone reading this will know, he literally played that entire game on his own. Also you’ll note the different hairstyles, he was famous for changing hairstyles for particular campaigns. He can shoot like that because every training day, he would practice shooting for hours on end whilst all the others had showered and gone home! From allover the field, different distances from the goal mouth, he’d use props in the pitch to cause obstructions so that he’d have to angle his kicks to get round the obstructions. There hasn’t been another since like him although some of the young players in the current England squad are pretty good in different ways. The Bend it like Beckham reference you’re half recognising is a film that was based on him.

Also, it might be just my perception but he was the first personality I can remember that started getting huge tattoos after which that trend took off as something that became fashionable to do.

Allow me to answer your question. Why is football not popular in the US: 1- football cannot be monetized. Aside from half-time there are no breaks. 2- Americans like to be the best at everything, so when you find something in which you cannot excel, you label it as insignificant or dull or the more common "not manly" instead of improving. You create a sport that only you play and call yourselves World Champions. 3- low scoring is also a big no no for americans. You prefer big numbers at the end of a stupid game than a 1-0 at the end of a tense quality game (1 touchdown is worth 7 points..... why???) 4- you find football to be slow paced but the truth is, both teams are always 30 seconds away from scoring at all times, which is the reason why you might see teams passing 50 times before a goal. They create openings and opportunities. Apologies for using harsh terminology but this is the truth.

Americans tend to prefer higher scoring games, with something to 'Whoop!' about many times. They also like results. Must be a winner, if it takes overtime, so be it. Football (as in British football, not American Handegg) often has tie-game draws. In fact, pre 1990s, when pretty much all games would be on a saturday afternoon a very popular gambling method was 'The Pools' where punters would select on a form 8 games they thought might be tie-game draws, and if they chose correctly, and there were only 8 draws that day, and not many others had them too, they could win big! TV companies dictating that the league have games on other days so they can show more slashed the point and popularity of the pools.
