Anyone who has ever set their eyes on international soccer knows about David Beckham and his vast legacy as a midfielder for Manchester United. Beckham is known for his charming personality and his unbelievable free-kick goals. Recently in an interview, Beckham was asked to share with the world thoughts on his favorite soccer player in the contemporary scene. He revealed that his current favorite had to be none other than Lionel Messi, the famous Argentine heartthrob who led Argentina to victory against France, making them the 2022 World Cup Champions. This is what Beckham had to say about Messi:

“It has to be Messi. I love Leo for many different reasons. I love him because he’s a great father, I love him because he’s a great personality, a great character, he’s a great person.” 

Clearly, Beckham holds a soft spot for Messi not only for his abilities with the ball but also his character.

Thoughts On The Last World Cup Win

Beckham further elaborated on his love for Messi while mentioning the impressive way in which he led the team to become world champions. He feels that Messi wears his heart on his sleeve while tackling around with the ball on the field. His focus and precision are like no other.

 “I think what everybody loves about him is the way he plays the game. He plays the game with passion, he plays the game just free.” he said. “I think that in the last World Cup, the way he played for his team and his country, winning the tournament was an incredible moment for him, and I love seeing players like that,”

Clearly, the former English soccer star looks for passion and love in players, and Messi is just one of the many who show everyone the true spirit of soccer. 

Possible Links Between The PSG and Inter Miami

Beckham is the proud co-owner of the MLS Inter Miami club. The club has been adamantly trying to sign Lionel Messi to have the star player play for the team. Messi currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. However, his contract with the PSG is soon to expire, and as one may expect, a multitude of clubs are looking to sign him up. However, so far, Messi has maintained that he has not signed up with anyone, especially Inter Miami. Rumours have still surrounded the player regarding his next team. Whether or not Messi will transfer to a new club remains a mystery until his contract finally expires with Paris Saint-Germaine. 

Some fans may agree that Messi might be the perfect new player for Inter Miami. He seems to be in brilliant form for someone who is in the later prime of his age group. He recently spearheaded his team to lift the world cup in Qatar. Moreover, the man has 7 Ballon D’ors to his name and refuses to give up on his insane dribbling skills. He is considered one of the greatest for a reason.

Messi’s Current Contract

As is common knowledge now, Messi’s contract with the Paris Saint-Germaine is expiring. Even though the player has adjusted well with the club, his time with them is coming to an end within a 6 month time period. The star player has played in a total of 56 games with the club and scored over 20 goals for them. Recently, the club clashed with Al Nassr in a friendly match.

This meant that two giants of the game, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, came face to face once again. The match ended in a victory for PSG at 5-4

Football superstar Tom Brady has announced his retirement one more time. Only this time, it appears he’s retiring for good. Coincidentally, on this same day last year, Brady announced that he would be leaving football for good. However, soon later, he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for one final epic season. In the end, things did not pan out too well for the team, as they didn’t go any further than the first round after qualifying for the playoffs. Bitter goodbyes followed as Brady took to his social media handles to announce his final retirement from the sport.

In Brady’s Words

Brady recently went online to his social media and dropped this heartfelt message to his fans and colleagues:

“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” he said.

“You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used my note last year so really, thank you guys so much, to every single one of you for supporting me, my family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors — I could go on forever; there’s too many. Thank you, guys, for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“I’m retiring, for good.” He said, making his message crystal clear for everyone to know and understands. Of course, final goodbyes hurt, but this does not mean we will stop seeing more from Brady. His career in entertainment has just begun with his production house called Religion of Sports. He is the co-owner of the company, which focuses on creating sports-related media. He is also the star of the film 80 for Brady, where he plays himself. 

Brady And The NFL

Brady’s relationship with sports and the NFL isn’t over either. Brady signed a deal with Fox Sports in which he is allowed to come back as a member of the broadcast team whenever he decides to take a permanent break from playing on the field. So fans certainly have a chance at seeing him in the booth next season. Fox’s CEO, Lachlan Murdock, also confirmed that Tom Brady would continue to serve as an ambassador for Fox sports. So, in spite of his exit from actually playing, Brady’s future looks pretty stable, with multiple opportunities knocking on his door, but there is more that lies underneath all the good news.

Bankruptcy And Divorce

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are getting a divorce. The news of their separation broke out last year when the announcement was made. This has to have had a terrible toll on Brady’s mindset and mental health. To make things worse, Brady is likely facing bankruptcy for being a paid spokesperson for FTX. A cryptocurrency exchange that has gone bankrupt and taken Brady down with it into the flames. Hopefully, the coming year is kinder to the NFL legend than the last one has been.

Fans will always have a soft spot for Tom Brady. Even though he is quitting football for good, he is not actually exiting the sports industry. If anything, he’s only trying harder to contribute to it in more ways than one. With his production house investments, he is attempting to raise the image of his career and football as a whole through the media. He is also all set up to return in non-playing capacities to NFL itself, which is more than likely to occur. The legend will always be remembered for giving America great games and greater memories. A true NFL hero.

Portuguese soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the headlines for several reasons lately. Recently the news of Ronaldo joining Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr FC surfaced. Reportedly the star received a staggering offer of 200 million Euros per year to be a part of the team. 

Later on, it was also announced that Saudi Arabia would be giving an exemption to Ronaldo to let him live with his partner Georgina Rodriguez in a temporary place before they find a permanent home. Otherwise, Saudi has a law that disallows couples to live together if they’re unmarried. And now, luxury watch brand Jacob and Co., has partnered up with Ronaldo to seemingly promote their brand new watch.

Caviar Tourbillion

Soon after the signing of Ronaldo by Al Nassr, Ronaldo posted a picture on his social media handle with his private jet, all set to fly him to his new home team in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo was spotted wearing a stunning bright green wristwatch from Jacob and Co. The company has worked with Ronaldo for over a decade and a half. He was given this new watch which is priced at $780,000, which is something only those in Ronaldo’s league could afford. 

The watch is made out of gold and 388 baguette-cut tsavorites, stones that are a lot rare than even emeralds. The color of the watch is a deep bright green to represent the flag of Saudi Arabia that Ronaldo has become a part of.

In Ultimatum

Jacob and Co., have made watches for Ronaldo for a long time. They created a unique timepiece for him following his win against Manchester United in 2013. They also created a Bugatti Chiron-themed watch for him. The two are as inseparable as Ronaldo and soccer itself. In the coming years, we’re likely to see more magnificent timepieces on Ronaldo’s wrist created by the maker.
