union instead of football because of the family
atmosphere.
Former England captain David Beckham has revealed the
atmosphere at rugby union matches means he now enjoys the
sport more than football.
Beckham, who played for Manchester United and Real Madrid
and won over 100 caps for his country, said "nastiness" at
football matches can spoil the experience.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Beckham admitted: "I love rugby –
I love watching it and I love the whole thing.
"I have enjoyed going to Twickenham more than I have enjoyed
watching football."
Beckham said he used to feel "uneasy" going to watch football
matches when he was a child.
The 40-year-old also stated his belief that the 2018 and 2022
World Cups should go ahead in Russia and Qatar as planned
despite the ongoing FIFA corruption scandal, which he described
as a "mess".
"Whether it's corrupt or not, those countries have been chosen.
People need to get behind that," Beckham added.
"It's all about bringing football to new countries. I think they
should stick with it.
"For me to see the game, the way it's been treated and looked
after, is devastating. It's disgusting."
