Reborn in the USA:Beckam heads for LA

David Beckham and family leave Heathrow on a flight to LA The secret of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s status in Hollywood, as Vinnie Jones explained this week, was simple: you hardly ever see them and so, in their absence, the mythology grows. Tinseltown’s premier couple always leave their public wanting more. It is one lesson that David Beckham and his wife Victoria will have to learn on their first day in Los Angeles today but it will surely not be the last.

Today the former England captain will resist the tugging fatigue of jetlag and walk out of Los Angeles International Airport into the sunshine and the all-consuming maw of the American media. He will tell us that this is a move made for sporting reasons, and that he wants to be soccer’s missionary in America. Like all stars he will no doubt make his move to the Los Angeles Galaxy seem just that little bit altruistic, giving himself to the people of America so that they too can share in the dream.

Beckham in Hollywood, however, is rather more than just football - it is, like everything this man does, replete with conflicting arguments about his motives and sporting merits. From some angles he looks like a maverick, a man for whom the parochial boundaries of European sport are there to be broken. A bona fide gold-standard British cultural export ready to break the toughest town of all. And then you remember he is also a current England international happy to play for about £3.5m a year in a league where Danny Dichio sometimes wins goal of the week.

The standard of Major League Soccer is the issue that is most easy to grasp as you contemplate the complexities of the Beckham’s arrival in LA. There will doubtless be much finger-wagging today from the LA Galaxy’s hierarchy, who are determined not to be patronised by English football on their big day. Chief among the defenders of the MLS so far has been Alexi Lalas, the urbane, intelligent former American international who played for Padova in Serie A and is now the president of the LA Galaxy.

Lalas has progressed from a peacenik, beardy look to the sober-suited executive and he gets angry at any questioning of the standards of the MLS. While their egalitarian ideals of salary caps and a beautifully democratic ban on charter flights for teams - the MLS say they give an unfair advantage - are to be commended, it is a criticism that is justified. The one factor that undermines this latest Beckham project more than any other is a league where the likes of Carl Robinson (ex-West Ham and Wales) and Abel Xavier have also chosen to see out their careers. The old Italian international Giorgio Chinaglia played here in the first soccer boom of the 1970s when Pele, George Best and Franz Beckenbauer played for the long since defunct New York Cosmos and in their spare time hung out in Studio 54 with the Rolling Stones.

“The MLS never has 70,000 people at a match and the New York Red Bulls average just 10,000 at the moment,” he said. “I don’t think that Beckham alone can do it.” He points out that the LA Galaxy are struggling themselves - just three wins all season - and Beckham is just not the sort of player, like a Pele or Best, capable of giving American audiences the dribbling skills they seem to like.

“He is the first big superstar to come to the MLS and I hope others come,” Chinaglia said. “He’ll do his best and the league are on the right track. Chicago have got Cuauhtemoc Blanco, the Mexico international, but you need at least 50 more players of that character.”

But the MLS is not necessarily trying to create a league that competes with the Premiership or La Liga; they are trying to find a voice that allows them to be heard amid the celebrity clamour of American entertainment. On Sunset Boulevard’s billboards alone, the Die Hard 4.0 movie competes with HBO’s new season of the television show Entourage and the forthcoming Transformers movie. To stand a chance in this town you need star quality and at last - through Beckham - the LA Galaxy have a seat at the top table.

LA is a fearsomely ambitious place where fame is as enduring a currency as the dollar itself. For the successful, every door in town opens and for the rest of the ambitious young things there is an apron, a menu and a career waiting tables while they wait for the big break. The Beckhams arrive with much goodwill - Victoria’s profile has certainly rocketed - but how they preserve and enhance it will be just as important as today’s stage- managed presentation.

In a place that fuels so many of the world’s cultural trends it seems implausible that Beckham will be able to hold the attention of Hollywood by just playing football. The whole Beckham project will involve as much reinvention as a Robert De Niro method-acting masterclass. Certainly it will have to be a lot more eye-catching than switching from the right side of midfield to the centre, which is the first change the LA Galaxy have in mind.

Beckham’s appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week was recognition of his status, but closer reading of the piece itself suggested that the magazine was presuming very little prior knowledge of the man himself among their readership. This was Beckham for the uninitiated. And no mention of the five games he will probably miss - for which tickets had already been sold - when he flies back to play for England. There was a telling hint, however, that there is some resentment among the other LA Galaxy players at his salary.

The football heartlands of California are said to be based amongst the Hispanic population although a perfunctory view of LA tells you that it is not them who dictate the direction of popular culture. Equally, football is still as far away as ever from the hearts and minds of the African-American population. When Beckham heads back from training at the Home Depot Center stadium he could take a detour through the nearby Compton district which had its notoriety chronicled in the rap music of NWA. Like many of his generation who were bored English teenagers of the 1980s, Beckham will be familiar with the raw bombast of that era of music. Persuading young black urban Americans to take up his game might prove difficult.

Achieving that would surely cement football’s popularity in the American psyche. Watching the LA-born Boston Celtics basketball star Paul Pierce take penalties at a Chelsea training session this week you were not simply struck by how bad he was at them. What was plainly obvious was that he had never kicked a football before in his life. Reaching all elements of American society beyond the kids of the middle-class and their “soccer moms” is a much greater challenge for Beckham.

The Sports Illustrated cover shot had Beckham in full LA Galaxy gear on a roped-off red carpet, an image that the marketing men were keen to point out was intended to signify LA rather than what Beckham intends to spend his time doing here. In reality, he is on the road so much with the LA Galaxy in his first few months that he will probably spend more time in airports and hotels than Beverly Hills.

For the Beckhams, Hollywood seems like the perfect solution. Although those in the know say Victoria would have preferred London or New York (it’s about the fashion scene apparently) she will have her celebrity projection and he will too - as well as a football team to play in. But at least in Manchester and Madrid he was apart from the red carpets and parties. Now they are just a limousine ride away down the hill. Spend too much time there and his credibility as a footballer will ebb, not to mention the interest of a city which has plenty of stars to choose from.

Next week the American television network NBC will screen the documentary that covers Victoria organising the family move to LA and there is a similar fly-on-the-wall show in production about Beckham’s last few months at Real Madrid. They are about to take their places in the American consciousness. Success will no longer be measured in terms of titles and trophies, it is the start of the transition of the most famous English footballer of his generation into a figure whose fame is even greater and wide-ranging.

Whatever he turns out to be, it will certainly make a change from running a pub or opening a sports shop. Beckham is nothing if not an innovator. But he is playing by different rules now and that plea he has always offered up to judge him first and foremost as a footballer will start to sound ever more hollow from today onwards.

WOW HOT!!!Posh&Becks are the hottest couple ever.I am sick of Brangelina,so boring and generic,so i am very much excited for this fanbulous couple taking over America.

Ok, where is the speedo?

I don’t see any speedo. I only saw white … underwear!

Yike, wearing underwear to pool is just like my son wearing diaper to the kiddy pool. Ewwww….

#108 agreed

Brad Pitt is hung like a flea.

On the other hand:

David Beckhams is hung like a stallion.

David looks like an a##hole, just like his wife in her idiotic underwear photo with her ugly panty crotch exposed. Yeah spread your legs wider, Victoria, that will make us like you better, NOT! America does not like this couple, and no amount of hype will change that. And the Beckhams just keep making more and more enemies because they keep churning out the hype. We aren’t swallowing it, Beckhams, you are a phony ugly coule, you cheat on each other and are media wh#res. There is nothing to like about Victoria, she is a freak show that will never be liked here. STAY IN ENGLAND and take this PR bullsh#t with you.

111, speak for yourself dumbfcuk.

Is a big D*ick suppose to make this couple American sweethearts?
Yes he has skills, all she has is unlimited credit cards and a sour puss face.
As for all this high power sex publicity, America may need a lot of
things..but we are over stocked with sex freaks, come with something we can use like a little roll model Respectability.

oh my word.
:O

I love all these people posting over and over how no one cares about the Beckhams! LOL!!! They “don’t care” so much they come to every thread and post how no one cares! LOL!

No one believes that soccer will replace football or baseball. Get real. They are only hoping to raise its profile, appeal to women, and give the kids who aren’t on the high school football team a sport to play that still has some glamour — and that their moms will happily support them playing!
