World Cup Brazil 2014

Several sites (like this and this) reported today that English player David Beckham declared that he has hopes to play the World Cup 2014 in Brazil.

Beckham was born in May 1975, and will be aged nearly 40 in 2014. Beckham is famous for several reasons, including: he is one of the greatest idols in English football and the player with most caps in the English team (currently, 115 appearances); he played in some of the most important teams in the world, including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Milan (from 2007 to 2010, he played in American team Galaxy, which paid him loads of money – speaking of which, Beckham was the highest player in world in 2004); his wife Victoria Beckham was a famous singer.

Beckham’s hopes are far from reality. As himself admitted, it is probably that he will not be with England in the South Africa Cup 2010.

Besides serving the English Team, Beckham has other reasons to hope to come to Brazil. Beckham has business in Rio Grande do Norte, a State in the Northeast of Brazil (which is also one of the host cities of the World Cup 2014): he plans to have a football academy in a luxury resort to be built in that State – see notes about the Beckham Academy and his visit to Brazil.

However he comes, Beckham will be welcomed in Brazil.

Update, March 15th 2010: Beckham suffered an injury while playing in Milan and is out of the World Cup 2010.
