another question

Why was the UK known as Albion?
Because we don't follow the Mexican League. The only football we follow is british and European.
Beckham is so great because he's always in the tabloids, he produces the goods and has become a celebrity in his own right. Style Icon/Model/Famous Dad. He diversified. So he's pretty good at marketing himself. Thats why he gets paid so much.
And as I said before, Beckham is pooor against Americas biggest stars. Here is an example, now probably out of date but from my World Sport Cultures Text book from school.
Roy Keane (another British hardnut Footballer) gets $80 000 a week.
Michael Jordan, now retired, gets $800 000 a week.

See what I mean?

I'm also pretty sure the UK has never been known as Albion.

We have a football team called West Bromidge Albion, but...apart from that I can't think of anything. Where did you hear that?

And I visited New Yoik. Was pretty much the first house out of the airport where I saw it. *scared still*
I counted about 27 US flags on one street as well.....Oh dear.
