Hey, I just started watching football(soccer) because it is really famous in England(which I LOVE!). I'm from the US and I really don't like it. Four years left and I will be gone, outta here.
Anyways, can I have some opinions on the idea of Beckham being the English captain? I heard in a forum that it was not such a popular choice. But it was an American forum, which I don't always trust because of all the rumors that go around.
And can anyone tell just HOW popular Football(soccer) is in England?
Thanks,
Josh;)

Very popular!
When England play the whole country comes to a stand still. The cross of St George is out every where around the country and every one is glued to the telly!
Us Brits come from a country where we have few things to get excited about in respect of national holidays and such, so we look at our footie as a great thing to get really into and excited about!
Oh and as for Becks, people have all different opinions on him, but lets just say there's no way l'd kick him out of bed!!!!!!

Josh,
I am also a recent convert of English soccer, ever since I first got access to Fox Soccer Channel through the Dish Network.
As a fellow Yank, I don't know if "footie" is the top sport in England. But I do remember seeing the reactions of fans of the three relegated clubs CRYING! (Birmingham, West Bromwich Albion, and Sunderland) You don't see that in the states!

Are you in England at the moment or the US? If your in England then it will be pretty obvious how popular it is.
If you are in the US, go to the BBC website when the England game is on.
Football is the most popular sport by far in England. And Beckham should be Captain.

Considering that there have been some serious fights break out at and after many matches, I'd say football is WILDLY popular in the UK.
