'Sir David': Beckham Knighted For Services To Football And Charity
Last Updated: England and Manchester United legend Beckham was named in the King Charles' Birthday Honours list on Saturday. David Beckham was knighted for his services to the game of football and his activities towards charity as the 50-year-old was named in the King Charles' Birthday Honours list on Saturday. Beckham, who earned 115 international caps for the England national team, is set to join other renowned figures in British sporting history, such as former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and tennis legend Andy Murray. In 2003, Beckham was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), and his wife, former Spice Girls star Victoria, received the same honour for her contributions to the fashion industry. Since 2005, Beckham has served as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and is also involved with the King's Foundation, supporting educational initiatives to raise awareness among the next generation about nature. The former Manchester United star was initially set to receive the high honour in 2012 for his efforts in bringing the Olympics to the United Kingdom, but the nomination was put on hold due to alleged tax evasion charges that were eventually dropped. Beckham made over 700 appearances in a distinguished career, known for his exceptional free-kick skills and precise long passes. He won the Premier League title six times and a UEFA Champions League trophy during his time at Manchester United under Ferguson. However, in 2003, Beckham transferred to Spanish giants Real Madrid following a disagreement with Ferguson. He remained with the Galacticos until 2007 before moving to the USA to play for LA Galaxy. Beckham also spent a couple of seasons on loan at Serie A club AC Milan before finishing his illustrious career at French side PSG, where he retired with 127 goals across all competitions. In 2014, Beckham announced his intention to exercise the option of buying an MLS expansion team, Inter Miami. He has significantly advanced the development of the Florida-based club, attracting star players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.

Five things to look out for as Club World Cup kicks off
Despite concerns over ticket sales and player fatigue, FIFA's new expanded Club World Cup will throw up several intriguing storylines this summer in the United States. AFP Sport picks five things to look out for on the pitch as teams compete to conquer the world and claim their share of $1 billion in prize money. Former Barcelona great Lionel Messi has spent the last two seasons at MLS side Inter Miami but the Club World Cup pits him against European opposition once again. The 37-year-old superstar still possesses supreme quality but there are question marks over whether he and former top level stars Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets can seriously compete against the cream of the crop. Inter Miami face Porto in their second group match in Atlanta, a team Messi has faced once before, beating them with Barca in the UEFA Super Cup back in 2011. Messi also featured against Porto in a friendly with Barca back in 2003, which was his first ever appearance for the club at 16 years old. If he nets at the tournament, Messi would become the oldest ever Club World Cup goalscorer, while both he and Suarez trail the competition's all-time top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, by two goals. Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final romp over Inter Milan was inspired by thrilling forward Desire Doue, who turned 20 earlier in June. His spectacular burst into the limelight over the past few months means he is one of the players to watch this summer at the Club World Cup. He struck twice in the final against Inter as well as setting up another goal and drew comparisons to Spanish starlet Lamine Yamal, who will not be playing this summer as Barcelona did not qualify. PSG's opening clash against Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles immediately gives Doue another stage to shine on as the world at large continues to discover his immense talent. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City endured a poor season by their lofty standards and immediately took action in the special transfer window to bolster their squad for the Club World Cup. The Abu Dhabi-owned club have already splashed more than £100 million on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. With holding midfielder Rodri also returning to fitness after injury, City are hoping they can step up their game significantly. French 21-year-old attacking midfielder Cherki is an exciting talent looking to show his quality at the top level. "I really believe he can become a world-class player with our support and direction," said City's director of football Hugo Viana. While Europe's elite are at the end of a long, hard season, South American clubs are midway through their campaigns and will be energised. They have long revered the competition to a far greater degree than European sides, as it represents the chance to face the very best teams in the world. Fans who do not regularly follow South American football can look forward to discovering some of the most exciting emerging talents in the world. River Plate's Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono will join Real Madrid after the tournament, while Chelsea-bound striker Estevao Willian is hoping to end his time at Brazilian side Palmeiras with a bang. Atletico Madrid ended the season trophyless despite looking like potential contenders in Spain and Europe. Diego Simeone's side are proud of having reached the tournament ahead of La Liga rivals Barcelona and the coach has not hidden his desire to succeed this summer. "I hope we can advance in the Club World Cup and lead Atletico Madrid to a privileged position," said Simeone. Atletico have not won a single trophy since lifting La Liga in 2021 and their last success outside of Spanish football came in 2018 with Europa League and UEFA Super Cup wins. Their elimination by Real Madrid in the Champions League after Julian Alvarez's controversial 'double-touch' penalty was disallowed sent them into a spiral, which they only managed to shake off in the final weeks of the season, after their chances of success had vanished.

Mexico's Sheinbaum urges US to avoid immigration action at LA soccer game
MEXICO CITY, - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday urged U.S. authorities not to conduct immigration enforcement targeting attendees of a Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles on Saturday, where Mexico's team is due to play the Dominican Republic. Her comments followed recent raids by immigration authorities in Los Angeles targeting undocumented migrants, under policies associated with the President Donald Trump's administration, which have sparked protests across major cities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in a now-deleted post to social media, had also promised to be "suited and booted" at the first round of Club World Cup soccer matches, the curtain-raiser event for next year's World Cup. "We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any action... we call for none to be taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement," Sheinbaum said in her morning press conference. The CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Asked if she would still advise fans to attend Saturday's match at SoFi Stadium, Sheinbaum noted that Mexican consulates in the U.S. have established protocols to assist citizens if detained. Sheinbaum also addressed viral social media images of demonstrators in Los Angeles holding Mexican flags, dismissing them as "potential provocations." "Mexico will always promote peace," she said, adding that its nationals in the U.S. were hardworking individuals who do not seek to incite violence. Mexico will play its next two CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage matches in Arlington, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The tournament also features Central American countries with sizable migrant populations in the United States.
