The World Cup final is at 3 pm American time on Sunday. Which team will be the champion is the million-dollar question. Two legends, David Beckham and Ricardo Kaka, had to face this question at a FIFA event in New York on Friday. Although Kaka gave a direct answer, Beckham was clever.
David Beckham himself admitted to giving a diplomatic answer. The former England star footballer did not directly support either Spain or Argentina, saying, "I played in Spain. Their team is also good. Argentina is playing well in the tournament. I want a good game and beautiful football. Personally, I want Messi to do his best. I am for Messi."
Beckham played for LA Galaxy in the American Major League Soccer (MLS) after leaving Manchester United and Real Madrid. He later became an owner of Inter Miami. Messi, a player at his club, said: "Messi is playing for our club. It's great."
When Beckham came to play in the United States, there were few teams in the soccer league, and there were only a handful of football stadiums. In the eyes of this Miami owner, a lot has changed in the span of two decades, 'The number of teams in the soccer league has increased. The number of stadiums is close to thirty. This World Cup will inspire the young people. Now it is their responsibility to carry it.'
Ricardo Kaka was once Brazil's star footballer. His successors could not reach the quarter-finals this time. Their arch-rival Argentina is in the final. Messi is in the race for the Golden Boot with 8 goals. Argentina is also playing well. Even so, Kaka's bet is for Spain, 'A team with a footballer like Messi can do anything at any moment. Argentina is also playing well. Spain showed their ability against France. Everyone considered France the favorite. Spain beat them. I am for Spain (the possibility of becoming the champion)'
