Beckham’s response to the criticism about the ‘fixed tournament’ accusations

Following Inter Miami’s triumph, few made speculations that the whole tournament was fixed and rigged. Favian Renkel, a well-known writer in the MLS and Forbes, took to Twitter on Sunday to share Beckham’s response to the situation and the criticism.

“It does. It does. People keep saying that. You know, every time Leo scores one of these goals, every time Busi makes one of these passes, every time Jordi makes one of these runs, people say, is it fixed? It’s the biggest compliment anyone can give these players because it is like a movie,” he said. It seems Beckham readily invites such criticism, as it barely affects him. After all, he was happy with his team’s victory.
