James Ward-Prowse’s Record Compared to That of Beckham’s

Published March 23, 2023 / by index

 

Last Saturday’s game between Southampton and Chelsea ended with a win for Southampton and it was mainly for the goal scored by James Ward-Prowse. He closed in on a record set by David Beckham, the legend of Manchester United. The winning goal was executed by James as a free kick. This was seen by many as close to the tally set by David Beckham. 

 

Many are now talking about how James Ward-Prowse is close to the record set by David Beckham. He has now scored from a total of 17 free kicks during Premier League matches. This sets him one goal behind David Beckham who is regarded as the Goldenballs bearer. The free-kick goal was indeed a stunning win that James Ward-Prowse provided his team. Southampton also made an impressive statement with their wins, especially with Ruben Telles as their interim boss. Hence, Telles is sure to land the job by the time the season ends.  Continue reading →

MAN CITY VS MANCHESTER UNITED PREDICTED LINEUP AS BECKHAM TIPS DEVILS FOR WIN

Published October 8, 2022 / by index

John Stones is expected to miss out as Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday. The centre-back was forced off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury while playing for England against Germany during the international break and while there has been no confirmation of the issue, it is unlikely he features in the derby.

Better news for City is that Aymeric Laporte has taken part in first-team training, with the centre-back yet to play this season after undergoing knee surgery in the summer. He is closing in on a return, though this weekend will come too soon. Kalvin Phillips is a longer-term absentee, and he faces a race to recover from shoulder surgery in time for the World Cup. While Manuel Akanji has been impressive since arriving from Borussia Dortmund, Nathan Ake could be the preferred partner for Ruben Dias in defence. Kyle Walker missed the trip to Wolves before the international break but is fully fit again. Continue reading →

          DAVID BECKHAM REACTS AFTER HIS SON SCORES FREE-KICK SIMILAR TO HIS

Published July 25, 2022 / by index

David Beckham has sent his congratulations to his son after Romeo scored a free-kick reminiscent of his famous father. Beckham senior is celebrated as one of the best free-kick takers of all time, having curled in numerous efforts for England, Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy – and it seems he has passed on the skillet. Romeo started his football career at Arsenal’s academy but has been given his start at Inter Miami – the club which is part-owned by his father. The 19-year-old is currently playing for the Florida side’s second-string while he develops his game, and that is where his viral free-kick came from.


Romeo’s strike came in Inter Miami II’s 3-1 win over Orlando City II in the MLS Next Pro League. With his team 2-1 up and the game nearing its end, Romeo took his opportunity to net his first goal for the club when they won a free-kick 25 yards out. He ran up to the ball in a manner which echoed his dad, struck it nicely to get the ball over the wall and into the bottom corner. While it wasn’t a perfect imitation of David Beckham’s style, as he was best known for finding the top corner, it was an eye-catching way to get off the mark. Continue reading →

David Beckham played a big role in the emergence of Neville as the Inter Miami manager at the start of the year and the team would fall short of a playoff spot at the end of the just concluded regular season.

They finished in a disappointing 11th spot on the Eastern Conference standings after a poor record of 12 wins, five draws and 17 defeats in 34 games.
