Sometimes it seems Galaxy midfielder David Beckham spends more time on a soccer field showing off his abs than his set pieces as he wanders the field shirtless at the end of games.
So this soft porn excerpt ad is nothing new to most soccer fans and will likely be one of the few Super Bowl references you’ll find here this week ahead of Sunday’s game between two teams that are not the Packers.
