LA Galaxy star David Beckham says FIFA got it right with the looming 2010 and 2014 World Cup hosts.
Beckham was in South Africa last week to meet with FIFA delegates.
He told TalkSport: "South Africa truly deserves to have the World Cup here. It's a special country with so much passion and without a doubt it will leave a lot of good memories to so many people around the world and of course Brazil 2014 - what a better place to have a World Cup than Brazil. For me, I've been able to play with a few Brazilian players and without doubt they're the most talented footballers that I've ever come across and they are a special country and then hopefully it will be us."
