Guys,
I am a silent watcher of DF for quite sometime. I have always wondered why there is not much female participation is discussions in this internet world.Any idea? Does they lack knowledge about TFM in general? No girl has sound technical knowledge about music? Or they hide behind a guys name and post?

  I don't think he would come back to England...actually...
  Chelsea as the matter of a fact....is really coming up...but...Money can't buy success...we have seen it with Blackburn in 1993...they got so much of cash flow at that time...that they even won the League that year...and that's all...after that...they are MidTable hangers....
  
  anyway..by 2005..he would be 30 years old...do u think it's a good money to buy a Midfielder at 30?...
  may or may not be...

  And talking about Beckham's popularity across the world and the title of being the worl's most famous sportsman... there are still some places where they do not know him.
  USA, as they usually are, have their own parallel version of most of the sports which are hardly played in other countries. And the sports that the other countries play are also hardly known in US. I saw an interview of Beckham and his wife Victoria Adams (Posh spice) in one of the US television channels when I was there. it hardly aroused any hype or attention that a James Lebron or any NBA rookie would get. There was also a mention abt the talk of being the world's most famous sportsman :-)) and not being recognised in such a big country :-)).
  
  (His wife Posh Spice was more famous than him in US)

  Maverick...
  Football/Soccer(as they are known in US)...is not a famous sports there..
  when i was in NY for 1 week...maan i was so damn bored...not to see anyone kicking football in TV....
  
  that's why MU trying to penetrate the US market...since the US team managed to get to WC 2002...they sport is getting it recognition slowly though...

  30 isn't that old for being an midfielder. I think he can go on for another 4-5 years unless he is hit by another one of those bad injuries he seems to get more often.
  
  Beckham, is one of the fittest footballers in the scene. In europe and US, they have this "Bleep test" that they do for sportsmen to check their fitness levels. From soccer to tennis to athletics, thats considered to be the ultimate test of fitness. Some of the sportsmen even dread it so much for it is so tough. (I can explain how the test is done later, if you havent heard abt it). But , Beckham is one of the very few men who can easily pass that Bleep test fitness level standard. Such is his fitness level.

  Anyway..i think Americans are simply dumb..that they want to set their own standards...
  
  c'mon..the NBA champions are called "WORLD CHAMPIONS"...huh?..hello....what abt the Japanese?...
  
  their metrics system, sports, entertainment...they simply cant catch up with the rest of the world...

  maverick..pls explain abt the Bleep test..i never heard abt it...
  c'mon..even Zidane..at 31..is not playing his usual best nowadays..at least he is not consistent anymore...
  at most..i see Beckham until 33 in field...
  that's all..and may be..he would love to end his career in England though...

  Maverick..i know..MU is RED DEVILS...
  i like the Red too..better than the rest..but wearing nonRED jerseys makes u a bit different in the crowd...coz..almost 80% MU supporters wear red...

  Paran,
  Sincerely i feel LA-lakers/San-Antonio spurs/Sacramento Kings can beat any team in the world. So World Champions make sense, but it does not for NFL.. cuz there is no country that plays NFL. Again.. the amount of power that goes into training for a NFL is tremendous, that no world could produce such a team.. so i will not call it dumb.. but it is a standard that cannot be compared.

  Paran, rules of cricket....
  You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he is out. When they are all out, the side that's been out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
  
  When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who are all out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

  Lakers are a good team who depend mostly on Kobe and Shaq. As long as they have Big Shaq blocking all those opponent shots and muscling his way past the opponent defenders for some baskets, Lakers would always make it to the play-offs. But yes, they would miss Kobe this season for some important games. But Tim Duncan seems to be the man of the moment in NBA for quite sometime now. That guy is quite amazing. I enjoy watching the Dallas Mavericks for they play the most entertaining games. Poor in defending and everyone attacking , most of the their games are high-scoring.

  anyway..KObe is playing...until today...i thot..he would be out...but he is in...and he is not out..coz he is in. So we cant count him out (cheh..Prabhu influence)
