WHAT BECKHAM SAID
In an interview with First We Feast, Beckham claimed that the signing of Messi is a “gift” to the U.S. people as his vision is to inspire young kids to take up the sport.

“It’s a gift in the sense of, I want to inspire the next generation of young kids that are playing in this country,” Beckham said. “Because at some point, the U.S. will win the World Cup. And it needs moments like this where you bring someone of Leo’s magnitude. He’s good on the field, he’s good off the field. He’s the perfect professional. And so if you bring someone like that then all of these young kids that are watching throughout America, going to watch him in their stadiums, in their city, get inspired, and that’s really what we wanted to do.”
