I'm sure the team executives gave him a huge spiel that soccer is ready to hit the big time in America and it just needs that one star to take it to the top and he can be that star, yadda yadda yadda. Whether he bought their spiel or just went for the money I don't know. I think when something is the most popular sport in your country it is a lot harder for you to believe that people in another country wouldn't like it if they were exposed to more of it.
