Politics, News & Issues > Soccer Should all nations be allowed to join FIFA and compete for the World Cup?Smallicon
1 of 2

I have taken to writing the NO side of this debate, under the assumption that the question is referring to places that are seeking independence or view themselves separately from another country which for right or wrong they are currently a part.

Sports & Recreation > Soccer (Other) Is Beckham staying in Milan?
10 of 12

David Beckham will stay at Milan, then leave and come back. I think that it is abundantly clear to anyone watching the situation that David Beckham is eying the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

So instead they hire their former legend also an unproven manager to take control of their team... More..
