Considering I've lived on almost every continent, I think I'm right when I say that Jordan is far more popular than Beckham.
I gotta side with meu irmão portuguese here. Everybody may know what it means to Moisturize It Like Beckham, but Jordan is the king. Not only is he recognized the world over, he's worshipped. And that ain't just no Chicago Bullshit.
The fact that you lived on every continent doesn't exactly matter, but hey what the hell. Football is ten-fold the sport basketball is and the ratio of fans between the sports is quite staggering, so I just find it odd that more people know and care about Jordan. Does Jordan really have billions of fans?
I can't stand basketball either. But the size of the sport doesn't make the size of the man, Andy. Worldwide, I would argue that Ronaldinho is recognized far more then Beckham these days. Becks is just particularly popular in Anglo countries.
@ Andy - further proof that Lalas is dumber than Ahmed's loaded asshole.
Ever since a dozen years ago when I was accosted by wild and crazy romanisti who wanted to take me to the funky discoteca and told me I looked just like Alexi Lalas, I am glad I have since grown old, fat, paunchy, and bald.
No wait, that's what Alexi is starting to look like these days. Damn!!!
more like a "boca" gloryhole..wow the double entendre killah!

Oh, that's good.
One of my wife's friends once relayed to me the story of she and her husband in Buenos Aires one day when the blue/gold and red/whites suddenly filled the streets and did battle. It took me about an hour to explain it to her.
No seriously, where the hell did you get that picture? :eyebrows:
