Soccer News - David Beckham wanted by West Ham United by Stephen Lars

Back in 2009, David Beckham, the talented midfielder who had began his professional career and his rise to international stardom at Manchester United was playing his first game against the team that would have prepared him for one of the finest professional careers in recent years. Beckham was playing as a loan for Milan and despite a bit of controversy when he played at Old Trafford, and yet many of the fans were happy and excited to see him back in his home-turf. Milan lost the tie with Manchester by an overall score of 7-2. The Manchester United fans were quite excited about seen Beckham back in top-shape. He was not only a respected player in the city, but there where high hopes for him to start in the South Africa 2010 World Cup with the English team. Considering his age and the fact that his career was on its final stages, most of the fans, and perhaps the player himself new that this was his last chance at a World Cup scenario. Tragically enough, on his next game against Chiero Verona Beckham suffered a torn Achilles tendon. Italian-born England Head Coach Fabio Capello brought him in later to the World Cup as one of the management assistants. Now, that he has nearly completed his recovery, Capello has announced that he has no plans for Beckham as part of the English National team. Beckham is still under contract with the LA Galaxy in the MLS. Rumor has it that the player will not be playing again for Milan, as the Italian team has hinted that they are no longer interested in his services. Now, it is a team in the English Premiere League who is making a bid for his service. West Ham wants to have him back as a seasoned professional. When they talk about hiring Beckham, they talk about bringing him in to play a crucial ambassadorial role in the team's efforts to land the England Olympic Stadium once the 2012 London Olympic Games are finished. The thing here is that, it seems only as the wrong approach all together. Beckham wants to keep playing in the field, he wants to stay valuable as a professional athlete, not so much for his diplomatic charisma or the well managed public persona he is. One thing seems to be clearer. Beckham is going to keep on fighting for a position on the English National team. He sports agent has said in regards to Capello's decision that "There has been no discussion of retirement. He will always be available for his country, when fit and if needed he will be there." This is quite a statement. At the end it is not clear if he is leaving on good terms with Capello. On his behalf, the head coach has said the he is a great player, but as a coach, he has to keep on looking for the younger talents that are the ones that might bring in a future championship for the English National team.

Soccer viewers can avoid paying high monthly payments to UK TV companies Sky and Setanta who hold exclusive rights to show the live games. As well as watching what paying customers can see, Soccer viewers can even watch matches that arent being broadcast by these companies.
EPL spokesman Dan Johnson said:- We are in contact with this site and their lawyers and are seeking to prevent any further abuse of our rights. The streaming of live EPL matches without permission is not only illegal, but also unfair on fans who have paid to go to matches or subscribed to Sky and Setanta.

International matches including UK World Cup qualifying games are also shown live on Justin.tv. This despite the fact that Setanta Sports have exclusive rights.

FA chiefs have said that their lawyers will be commencing legal action against Justin.tv. A spokesman said: We are aware that websites around the world are seeking to exploit the popularity of English soccer. We take any infringements of our broadcasting rights very seriously and we will be looking at this particular website very carefully. We always take action to protect our rights and will do so again in this case.’
The huge popularity of Justin.tv started when founder Justin Kan started a web stream of his everyday life and broadcast over the internet.The website which was launched March 2007, has grown quickly and has thousands of user channels showing everything from dog breeding to growing tomatoe streams.
However the live soccer streams are amongst the most popular areas of the website, especially amongst UK and European users. The concept of the site is a simple one. Anyone with a cam can point it at something from their living room or at a tv set showing sports and movies. The feed is then played on their channel on Justin.tv
And because of this a popular soccer game can be seen on many channels on the site making policing of them difficult.
So whilst the companies concerned grapple with who can stream what and when, take advantage of all the free soccer streams available.

After the enormous popularity of our free tv list giving you amazing content to watch, we thought we might give something for your listening pleasure. We have added a new category of Radio.
Radio streams are not exactly watchable but are a great addition to the site as you can now listen to thousands of worldwide radio stations.
Internet radio, also known as web radio, net radio, streaming radio and e-radio is radio stations broadcasting via the Internet. This is also called webcasting. Internet radio provides a continuous stream of audio and amongst traditional radio stations available there are also Internet only radio stations.
The beauty of radio streams is that they can be accessed from anywhere in the world. So for example, you can listen to an English station from America or anywhere else in the world.
Heres a selection of some of the best.
