New York, May 30 – The inscrutable world of professional soccer - OK, OK, football - alit in New York City today, in all its global insanity. We Yanks get David Beckham. He’s a celebrity, he does commercials with Beyonce and J. Lo, he endorses products. America is totally with the David Beckham program. But beyond the capitalism, there’s the soccer, er football, football! Sorry. So Englishmen Beckham and Michael Owen are in the U.S. to play an exhibition game against Colombia. (Huh?) Anyway, according to theFA.com, the official site of the England team, both Beckham and Owen proudly represent the mother country by playing for a team in Madrid, Spain. The press conference in a Midtown hotel didn’t shed much light on this, and then we all dashed over to Giants Stadium in Jersey for England’s training session. Um, we think Spain won.
