Is Beckham fever dying out a bit? well, in the U.S. it seems to have. Some time back back it was that you couldn’t even flip the TV channels a few times without running into David Beckham or his wife Victoria on one TV show or another.
Today, I can’t even remember the last time I saw an interview, in the US that is.
So is David Beckham fever dying a slow death? hmmm.
Recently in New Zealand..
International football star David Beckham and his LA Galaxy team were greeted by hundreds of cheering fans and a traditional Maori welcome when they arrived in New Zealand on Wednesday.
A tired-looking Beckham, 33, signed shirts, posters and footballs after the team were welcomed by about 200 fans in Auckland ahead of an exhibition match against an Oceania All Stars team.
Beckham fever appeared to be at a lower pitch than on the Galaxy’s first visit to New Zealand last year. Really? yeah, I guess Dave may need to get out more.
More than 31,000 fans saw the US team beat the Wellington Phoenix 4-1 in a friendly and 15,000 turned up to watch the team train in New Zealand’s capital.
I guess David Beckham is not selling as many tickets as he used to. I know New Zealand is not known for its population, but only 200 fans? wow… what is going on.
