According to Hickling, Beckham then says, “They need to score one goal, one goal, just to pick it up. Spain are likely to win now.” To which Chamalet replies, “France needs to get stuck in.”

The former soccer star then mentions Chamalet’s beloved New York Knicks and insists, “You can’t compare them to the Knicks.”

Beckham starts shaking his head at Chamalet, who said something while completely turned away from the camera, which leads Beckham to say, “It all matters. They are not better. No.”
