David Beckham Positive Over England's Chances Of Landing 2018 World Cup

David Beckham insists England is optimistic about their probability to win the right to stage the 2018 World Cup.
The England midfielder, who is vice-president of the England 2018 bid, visited the 2012 Olympic Games site – one of the potential venues for World Cup matches – as part of a final effort to appeal to voters ahead of the final conclusion on Thursday.

Fears are rising of an England failure, with Russia and joint Spain-Portugal both submitting strong bids. Beckham, however, was bullish in his commentary, claiming: "We are confident but not over certain ahead of the Fifa vote."
