Will David Beckham return to the MLS?

David Beckham is currently playing soccer for the Italian club team AC Milan. He is on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer. He is scheduled to return to the Galaxy in March. The big question is whether or not that will happen.

AC Milan is not only one of the premier club teams in Italy, but one of the premier club teams in Europe. Playing alongside international soccer superstars Ronaldinho and Kaka, Beckham has certainly found a place to stay fit during the MLS offseason. But here's the dilemma - should Beckham continue playing for a premier club team in Europe, or stay true to his contract and return to the United States with the hope of revitalizing soccer here in America?

Lemme speak directly to Becks for a moment and advise him on what he should do:

"Dave, you're 33 years old. Yeah, you got a few good years left, and you can still 'bend it,' but you're not getting any younger. Stay in Italy. American soccer needs a young international superstar to commit to the MLS and help vault one lucky team onto the world stage. Only then will American soccer get any sort of recognition. You can't carry a team like that anymore. I'm not saying you are washed up, not by any means. You have a lot of good soccer left. But you should use your remaining talent in one of the games' premier venues. Don't waste your time fighting a losing battle in the U.S. - stay with AC Milan, continue getting ready for the 2010 World Cup, and stay true to the English national team."

On another completely unrelated note, UFC 94 is less than a week away. For some reason, I can't get enough St. Pierre/Penn coverage...
