I think the reason people focus on one or few sports is because surrounding.Almost every sport has been played by more than two people.If your friends play football,there is no reason for you to play soccer alone.So it will made a great influence if Beckham could show some nice kicks.And soccer is a beautiful sports.It is an art if you understand about it.In my opinion, it's a wonderful sport for making friends and even better than basketball or football.In a soccer game, you can meet with other 21 friend which basketball has only 9.And everyone in the game could probabaly touch the ball which is not in football.That's why football can't be acceptable in other country,everyone wanna be "quarterback" .
