FORMER ENGLAND CAPTAIN David Beckham has revealed the atmosphere at rugby union matches means he now enjoys the sport more than football.
Beckham, who played for Manchester United and Real Madrid and won over 100 caps for his country, said “nastiness” at football matches can spoil the experience.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Beckham admitted: “I love rugby – I love watching it and I love the whole thing.
“I have enjoyed going to Twickenham more than I have enjoyed watching football.”
Beckham said he used to feel “uneasy” going to watch football matches when he was a child.
The 40-year-old also stated his belief that the 2018 and 2022 World Cups should go ahead in Russia and Qatar as planned despite the ongoing FIFA corruption scandal, which he described as a “mess”.
Whether it’s corrupt or not, those countries have been chosen. People need to get behind that,” Beckham added.
“It’s all about bringing football to new countries. I think they should stick with it.
“For me to see the game, the way it’s been treated and looked after, is devastating. It’s disgusting.”
Was never going to happen he’s a really top player for Madrid and would be a step down joining Arsenal in terms of winning leagues and champions league.. Also Arsenal are always to scared to spend the money needed for a player like this never going to happen..
If he was to choose arsenal or United I know what one he’d pick..
This got nothing to do with United lol
Spot on Irish.
Must saying Irish… #pedro
Just *
He joined Chelsea not Arsenal haha
I know but he should of signed for United ;)
U think he should of? Fair enough I see why bigger club.. Shame United didn’t meet the release clause they may regret it.. Still tho Arsenal still Danny Welback?
Or Welbeck did United get £17million for him?
Welbeck is a great addition to any squad, does a lot of dirty work for the team and is unselfish. He’s not a striker though. He plays better on the left
Well that’s that done. I was never one to believe media hype but I will admit they got me with this one.. F**** you media. But if arsenal don’t get a striker we can forget about challenging for the league
Thank feck that’s over!! Gutted that it’s not happening though! Get the finger out Wenger
