Good: If England had qualified for Euro 2008, Beckham would be unavailable to play for the LA Galaxy for a month. All the MLS games Beckham was scheduled to play in would be virtually irrelevant.
Bad: The league's marquee player will miss out on the second-best international squad tournament in the world. If England qualified Beckham would play a significant number of minutes and possibly serve as the team's captain. ESPN would cover every England match which would allow the American audience to see that the MLS has a world-class player as its centerpiece.
