Soccer legend, Pele, is cautioning David Beckham not to allow all the trappings of his lifestyle to overshadow his commitment to playing soccer. Seemingly more concerned with maintaining his hair and tan, Beckham's being warned by the three-time World Cup winner to shift his focus toward his game.
"David Beckham is more of a pop star than a player. From my experience with New York Cosmos, I would advise him to be very well prepared for the matches."I know the level of play in the league. It is well balanced, and the spectators will demand a lot from him as their star player. But when there's no training or practice, then he can stroll through Hollywood," added Pele.
Oh Pele. So much has changed since you've been playing. It's all about abs. I'm just kidding! But seriously, how can someone possibly attempt to convince David Beckham that he should put his training before his image when he's married to a woman whose still commonly referred to as "Posh Spice"? She's not "Interval Training Spice." Coincidentally, that's actually my nickname.

Why has Beckham started dressing like K Fed since he moved to the US ? Just because he's gone Stateside is no reason to let himself go like that.
It's a bit late advising Becks to put his soccer before his image.His best football days are behind him and anyway he's been playing footie and plucking his eyebrows since his Man Utd days. He has also made most of his fortune through endorsements and advertising , so obviously to him the two are equally important.

Although Beckham is no longer a young mover he's still a very viable player. Was Pele awake for Beckham's comeback this year!?! He can probably play at quarter speed and still do well over here. MLS needs a star anyway. Screw Pele.
KT says:
She looks ridiculous out on a soccer field in high heels. Does she ever turn it off and just be a normal person? Is everything for the press? What a boring existence.

Pele talks too much about David ! I forget how namy time he mention about this move in his interview ! He is giving advices to David like David don't know anything about football and America..David has been long and colourful career ! He doesn't need any advices form anyone ! Better you shut up Pele !

Those of you telling Pele to stup up should get a life. Pele is the best footballer that ever lived. He has 3 World Cups and countless number of awards. What does Becks have his looks, some of his game ??????? Pele says some stupid sh*t sometimes but on this he is right. Even Armani stated that Becks is only coming to America to be an actor. Becks is washed up that why he moved here. Get that through your heads America, NO player in their prime would come and play in MLS.

I wonder if the Galaxys know how much of a lemon they bought with Beckam. Is he made out of glass? How do you injure yourself out the jump?
Queen Bitch says:

I don't even know soccer but it is clear that no super star soccer player would willing move to play in the US. Its like a LeBron James moving to play BBall in Europe.
That said, I still want to have sex with Posh and steal her clothes;-)
And for best line ever: Interval Training Spice!!! Wonderful
