    What a weird journey for the Helmond Cup. I see they finally updated the Twitter feed. The question is whether it will ever get out of Hungary. LOL.

    In fairness it's true what he's saying, it is one of the main reasons he became as famous as he is. The marketability does stem a lot from looks. Our boy Robben knows all about that, barely marketed at all lol.

    Oh its very true. Just look at David Beckham, one of the most overrated players ever and nobody would have paid any attention to him if women didnt find handsome.

    It just becomes a bit cringe when you have to toot your own horn and tell the whole world how good looking you are. I think deep down inside he might be harboring some insecurities
     
  9. Daivid Beckham is a special case. He was a boring dude before he met and married that Spice Girls singer. She was painted as a silly, brainless shit popsongs singer. In fact she was the one who transformed that good looking but boring to the hilt guy into a fashion icon. She was the one who orchestrated every step of David's rise to an icon. David himself simply was too stupid to be able to do that. He still is stupid.
    When you want to learn how to brand someone, you should read everything about that couple from the moment they met each other. It should be a case study at economic courses.

    He's done well for himself though.
    I gotta give him credit for that
     
  11. Nope. He's a puppet and his wife is the puppet master.

    Beckham was good at crossing the ball and set pieces; that pretty much sums up his career. Ferguson was disgusted with him in the final couple of years at ManU and could wait to get rid of him.

    Thats why I said he was overrated. But you cant deny he used his looks to get himself sponsors and lots of fans, and in turn made himself lots of money
     
  15. If his wife hadnot taken control of his future, he simply would be a mediocre player without the money he now has because of his wife's brilliant chrysalis strategy. He simply was boring as hell and not a very good player and, judging by the way he talks, not very smart either.
    The one smart thing he did however was marrying that woman.
    As an economist I spotted the transformation proces and was fascinated how it evolved from year to year.

  16. No dude. His wife changed his looks and how he dressed himself and used her popularity as a Spice Girl to propell him as a fashion icon.
    Every penny he has is by the doings of his wife. He is too stupid to be able to pull that off himself.
    As I posted, the smartest thing he did was marrying her.

    Okay, but my previous point still stands, a player wont be marketable unless they are handsome. Beckham wouldnt have made nearly as much money if he was ugly.

    Also, Spice girl wouldnt have married him if he was ugly

    That’s a shame for Gio. They got short memories up there. Then again, that’s the way of the world these days- especially in sport!

    Newcastle are looking very good. Up 0-2 in under 10 minutes.
    With all that oil money coming in I expect them to win the EPL title within next 5 years.

    Currently they are in 2nd place with other clubs having 2 games in hand

    Why would any one follow Bonesaw FC? Why would anyone want to play for a club whose owners are a bunch of corrupt murdering thieves who do not respect women's rights? They deserve a special place in hell.

    Haaland already on 20 goals with only 39% of EPL games played so far :eek:

    If he keeps training hard, stays away from injuries, and stays out of nightclubs, he has a chance to become the greatest striker ever to live. And keep in mind he's still only 22
