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."
Football News: The Los Angeles Galaxy wrapped up the series next to Seattle Sounders FC at the Home Depot Center; anywhere they beaten the visitors 2-1 on the night and 3-1 in collective.
LA took the guide 19 minutes into the match on an Edson Buddle header from a bend taken by David Beckham.
"The ball in a minute went over [Omar Gonzalez’s] head," Buddle recall after the match. "I see him bound every day, so I reserved going and got good make contact with on it."
Minutes later the Galaxy doubles the lead. Defender Omar Gonzalez lastly got his head on the ball from a Beckham set part.
English midfielder David Beckham has no meaning of becoming a coach and is in its place focusing on his revival from an Achilles injury, which he has exposed is ahead of schedule. The 35-year-old's dreams of participating in a fourth FIFA World Cup 2010 were shattered in March, when he continued the injury while on loan to AC Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy.
But, Beckham was asked along to South Africa as part of Fabio Capello's backroom staff and sat on the bench for what twisted out to be a wretched campaign, and ended with 4-1 defeat by Germany in the Round of 16. It has been suggested the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player could take charge of the national side in future, but the free-kick authority is not attracted in such talk at this stage in his career and cannot foresee that changing down the line.
The word "I must admit it's something I've never been involved in," he said in a web chat with Yahoo. "It's not a passion of mine to be a manager of a football team. I'm ardent about the game and being there, and obviously I was exhausting the suit, so people have looked and thought I could be going into that."
