Beckham and his wife may find L.A. less like a diamond and more like a rotting fish in the moonlight. As for the future of Soccer/football in the US. Forget it. In 5 years La Crosse will have fully replaced Soccer in the hearts and minds of America's fickle youth. Soccer will remain a world Sport, albiet one with no real hold on the hearts of Americans. And as a staunch foe of Soccer, I couldn't hope for more.
Can't wait to see what South Park does with this one!!!
Soccer stinks. Who cares about these Brit's anyways. LaCrosse rocks!!!
Lacrosse?! What a joke...
Anything that Tom Cruise is involved in would be a turn off ~ he is such a crass, self-absorbed, know it all!! Wonder when he will admit to his real sexuality!!!
AS A TOLERANT CHRISTIAN I'M CONSTANTLY DISGUSTED WITH THE MEDIA ATTACKING TOM CRUISE AND OTHERS BECAUSE THEIR RELIGIOUS CHOICE. LONG TIME AGO INTOLERANT CHRISTIANS WERE EXPELLED FROM EUROPE AND CAME TO AMERICA. IT APPEARS BIGOTRY TOOK ROOT AND EXPAND IN THE NEW WORLD
becks is the hotness…...that is until he speaks…his voice is CRAP
Hopefully before the Beckham's become the next big payday for Scientology they will read the book,'Piece of Blue Sky' written by Jon Atack who was involved in Scientology for almost a decade.The God I beleieve in isn't short of cash!If they do get involved in Scientology I predict this will overshadow Mr.Beckham's involvement in his soccer/movie carreer,which will result in half empty stadium's and movie theatre's.I think soccer will have a spike in interest with all the money being pumped into the hype machine(the $250 mil's got to come from somewhere!)but American's are just not that excited about soccer no matter how much a bunch of corporate suit's tell us we should be.As far as Mr.Beckham being the next movie action hero,he's about a quart low on charisma!When I saw an interviewer ask him the other day about his $250 mil. deal to come to the U.S. he acted about as excited as he found out that he had a real bad rash!
Let's face it -- Scientology is everywhere. Nothing stops it. The secret to all this is interesting, and many don't seem to know it. Those that do, well... you see it in Berlin, London, Taiwan, South Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, Russia, Latvia -- 163 countries, 71 languages. People find out Hubbard's methods work. That's the secret. His technologies work. So while the gossip mongers and media talking heads might slam it, Scientologist just continue. Provide workable knowledge that people find helpful. They tell their friends. Their friends tell their friends, and so on! See two sites: www.cchr.org and www.able.org.
samsung ad covers text. Not sure if the text line is just split or if the ad is covering several paragraphs. Poor page design. This ad placement is very annoying.
Gus,
Take the time to research this 'religion' and you'll understand. Their 'secret' papers are freely available on the Internet.
It's not just that they are a bunch of nuts that believe they are infested with the souls of space beings that were blown up by nuclear weapons while tied to Earth's volcanos millions of years ago. All that would be fine. It's even fine that their founder (a sci-fi writer, imagine that) basically admitted the whole deal was a scam to get rich.
Unfortunately, they insist on practicing good old cult traditions like alledgedly intimidating and even murdering people who try to leave them, taking all of their followers assetts, attempting to infiltrate the US govt, black-mailing the IRS into a clearly illegal secret settlement where their fee-for-service payments to the 'church' are tax free, virtual slavery for lower level (read less rich) members, etc.
Before you feel too sorry for them, they are actually (appropriately) banned as a cult in much of Europe.
Hopefully, these two are a bit smarter then the average LA residents and stear clear of these losers.
Beckham was told to move to La La land by his wife (have you noticed she always looks a funny shade of orange), her 'career' in Europe went down the pan so now she's trying to make it in US. A clear case of we don't want her... you have her.
To be honest no one actually know's what she does apart from looking like a orange stick insect.
Why doesn't Tom keep his Scientology to himself just as he does his homosexuality?
Uh, what's soccer? I likes pig chasin' and cow tippi', and I don't play no sports, 'ceptin' checkers and ridin' my horse, Gas. I calls him Gas cuz he gots lots ah gas, but he's a good ole horse. Do they use horses in soccer? And WHo is thsi Tom Cruise dude? Does he like pigs and horses?
I wish I made 250 millions dollars. If'n I did, I'd buy me a pig farm.
Wacky Joe.
Yes, LA is lovely - when you are in an airplane looking at all the bright lights! However, when you are on the ground, you realize that you on simply on an overcrowded desert city that is not spectacular at all. If the Beckhams are expecting to find some kind of paradise in LA, they will be sorely disappointed. Why leave Eourope for LA?
They will also be disappointed when they figure out the Tom & Katie are not their new best friends, but are recruiters for Scientology. If the Beckhams are going to start up with Scientology, they might as well set up the direct deposit with their bank now because that's where all their money will be going.
I wish I could tell the Beckhams one thing: Scientology is like a haunted house - very scary - but you don't have to stay - you can get the F out and run for your life!
Scientology is for people who do not want to think for themselves. The teachings of Scientology are idiotic, and anyone who thinks at all will see this. This cult continues because there are ignorant, greedy people who think that going through the absurd steps of Scientology, they will be successful. When in fact, the cult has nothing whatsoever to do with their success.
Perhaps soccer and Beckham have a chance of getting really big in L.A. if Jack Nicholson attends every game, as he does the Lakers' games.
I agree with early comment, South Park, is going to have fun with this one!!!! Also, one must wonder.. Bechams comment,' Tom Cruise being a wise man!?' I find this extremely amusing...
Beckenham cares only for the glory of football and what goes with it, good luck to him he might even fall for some unusual brand of belief - that's his choice, but for me Jesus is that way truth and life. Jesus died for Hindus Muslims and all other religions even scientology.
If he really feel a call to a mission in football why not help Asian people get involved in football like the film bend it like beckenham ?- but then again they cant pay much, but as he said he does not care for the money!! Is he really expecting people to believe that?
Give me a million a day and I will show the US all about cricket!
Maybe Tom will give them a tour of the Hubbard archives, buried in a vault near Earthquake Central, Petrolia, California. Talk about clueless--if L. Ron wanted his immortal writings to be safe, why put them where the San Andreas Fault meets the Juan de Fuca subduction zone? I suspect the rest of his crap is equally stupid. Make them pay income taxes.
