Beckham to reveal Miami MLS plans

David Beckham can finally see the goal in Miami, and his Major League Soccer team is about to be born. The soccer icon and his partners announced plans for a news conference Monday, saying they will make “an important announcement on the future of soccer in Miami.” Beckham is ready to draw his first Miami crowd, too: The event at a downtown arts centre will be open to fans. MLS, which will stream the event live on its website, said they were participating in what will be “a special announcement.” There will be 23 MLS clubs this season, and the league is in the midst of trying to grow to 28 teams. Miami has long been considered the provisional 24th franchise, not having official status because of the stadium questions.
