貝克漢姆預測2022年世界盃主辦權大綱

With his unkempt hair and scruffy beard, the usually well-polished David Beckham is seemingly no longer the billboard poster for metrosexuality he once was. Sporting his unkempt look, the former England skipper appeared more caveman than the 21st Century gent famed for his dalliances with waxing and sarongs.

頭髮散亂，鬍鬚邋遢，一貫精心打扮的大衛.貝克漢姆如今看起來風采不再。看他現在的造型更像是山頂洞人，很難想象這就是21世紀因紳士風度而得名的那個前英格蘭隊隊長。

The father of three arrived in Sydney today ahead of his LA Galaxy team's friendly against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday night.

爲了晚上貝克漢姆效力的洛杉磯銀河隊與新城堡聯的友誼賽，已是三個孩子父親的大衛今天抵達悉尼。

He was also looking a little jet-lagged, no thanks to the 19 hour time difference between LA and Australia.

由於19個小時的時差，他看上去有些疲憊。

Making his arrival, Beckham talked shop, telling reporters that he strongly believed both Australia and the United States are more than capable of staging a successful World Cup in 2022.

爲了這次行程，貝克漢姆還是言歸正傳告訴記者，他堅信澳大利亞和美國隊在主辦2022年世界盃上都是強有力的競爭者。

Although Beckham is currently pre-occupied with England's bid to host the event in 2018, the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder is confident the tournament four years later would be a success if it went back to the U.S. or to Australia for the first time.

雖然目前貝克漢姆身爲英格蘭2018年世界盃的形象大使，可這位洛杉磯銀河隊的中場隊員對四年後的比賽也是抱有信心，相信不管是首次舉辦的美國還是澳大利亞都會獲得成功。

I've only thought about our (England's) bid for 2018, that's something that we're working hard towards, something that we're very proud to be in the running to get it.

“我現在想的都是我們英格蘭2018的主辦權，這是我們現在都在努力的事，我們爲能得到它感到非常驕傲。”

'Everyone's got a chance to host that 2022 World Cup. Obviously the U.S. is up for it as well.'

“每個國家都有機會主辦2022年世界盃，顯而易見美國也在爲這個努力。”

'Both countries could host a huge competition like the World Cup.

“兩個國家都有能力主辦一場將是世界盃這樣的超級比賽。”

'It's the biggest sporting event in the world something every country wants to host but who gets it, we'll see.'

“它是世界上最大的體育盛宴，每個國家都想得到這個機會。但最終花落誰家，我們拭目以待。”
