David Beckham appeared on the popular show “Hot Ones” to devour wings and provided one of the hottest takes we’ve heard in a while. The Inter Miami owner said that the U.S. will win a World Cup… eventually.
Typically, on the “Hot Ones” show the heat intensifies as the show goes on, but after one wing Beckham said that Lionel Messi’s influence at Inter Miami will inspire a World Cup triumph for the Stars and Stripes.

Beckham didn’t give an exact date for when the U.S. will conquer the world in men’s soccer, but we predict it won’t be anytime soon.
The USMNT will be hoping for a deep run in the home 2026 World Cup under incoming head coach Mauricio Pochettino. While even the most loyal fans will admit the USMNT won’t win in 2026, a good showing could be a major boost for the future.
If what Beckham says is true about the younger generation watching Messi now, then we give it about 20ish years for the U.S. to be a serious World Cup threat.
Watch out world, because the 2042 World Cup is going to be ours.
Beckham covered a variety of other topics during his appearance on the show including his pre-match meal at Cheesecake Factory with the LA Galaxy, his favorite memory with Zinedine Zidane and his wish that Manchester United fans would still chant his name.
