Here is an annual breakdown:Krypton X;2257851 said:I don't disagree that this is going to be a big boost for the game over in the states, but is it worth the massively inflated price tag? I just can't see LA Galaxy getting a good return on their investment when beck's gets to keep most of the profits from the sale of his gear & merchandise. You'll have tons of people streaming into the stadiums for the 1st season or two but will they maintain anywhere near the same level of enthusiasm five years from now or after he calls it quits. Other superstars like Pele, Beckenbauer and Bobby Moore also managed to spark people's interest in the sport, but much of that dissipated after they left. I think you need to throw just as much money into developing the local game to make sure all those youngsters converted to football stick with it for good and make the most of it in the long run.
As for the image of the game overall, I don't think someone like Beckham will change the perception many Americans currently have about soccer being a girl's sport.

Real coach calls time on Beckham
Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has revealed that David Beckham will not play for the club again after agreeing to sign for Los Angeles Galaxy.
Capello said: "Beckham will train with the team but he won't play."
He added: "He has always been a great professional, but a player who has such an important contract with another club, we cannot count on him."
