No solo en México sufriremos el próximo año un aumento en los impuestos que pagamos. En
España el Congreso también plantea reformas para exprimir todavía más
a los contribuyentes, y todo parece que harán cambios en la llamada "Ley Beckham", llamada así
porque el ex futbolista del Real Madrid fue de los primeros en beneficiarse con

Self pity is an unattractive quality in a person I have to concede.
Except when I am the subject of course.
For a girl who rarely gets sick, having a heavy cold has proved something of a challenge.
And as if that wasn't bad enough in itself, The Foxes lost at home today 1 -2 (it would have been 0
2 had it not been for a 90 minute goal by Berner).

It's early November and we're still another seventh months until the tournament starts but I
must admit that the injuries to Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard
are beginning to worry me. According to Radio 5, Gerrard hasn't trained for two weeks and
Ferdinand's overall fitness this season may have contributed to some of his indifferent
performances when he has appeared for Manchester United.

LONDON (AP) -- David Beckham earned nearly $16.5 million from personal sponsorship deals during
his first full season with the Galaxy.
The England midfielder's latest accounts show that his marketability was unaffected by his move
from Real Madrid to the United States, where soccer is less popular.

Major League Soccer is growing and improving but outsiders often criticise the league for having
a lack of quality. It is a relatively fast football played in the US, with plenty of big, athletic
players of the kind which is becoming so important in so many footballing countries across the
world.

David Beckham journey continues as recent confirmed reports in Italy suggest that he is on his way
back to AC Milan for another loan deal. We have witnessed in the past big players moving from their
clubs like Brazilian legend Ronaldo moved from Inter Milan to Real Madrid, Luis Figo from Barcelona
to Read Madrid, Andriy Shevchenko from AC Milan to Chelsea, Thierry Henry from Arsenal to
Barcelona, recently Kaka from AC Milan to Real Madrid and other big players had to move from one
club to another at some stage of their careers.

While all were oohing and aahing over Barcelona's sex on a pitch football and the free-spending
ways of Florentino Perez returning to Madrid, the biggest difference maker in Spanish football was

talent of late with more than half of their last 18 man international squad plying their trade in

You've got to give Steve McClaren some credit. The man was a pitiful England manager,
but for a brief moment in time he was able to derail one of the most powerful forces in modern
football: David Beckham.
When Becks stepped down as England's captain after the 2006 World Cup,
McClaren dropped him entirely from the team.

We all know about 34 year old David Beckham, a cracking set piece taker and he has a
phenomenal range of passing but he was never the quickest or the most skilful of players. Due to
his ability to whip in a dangerous ball from anywhere on the pitch he has never had to change his
game, but during the first leg of LA Galaxy's play off against Chivas, Becks showed us a few new
tricks.
