David Beckham tips Kane to face Messi in England versus Argentina World Cup final

David Beckham believes England will rekindle their rivalry with Argentina in the 2018 World Cup final, with Harry Kane and Co. being backed to book a date with Lionel Messi and the Albiceleste.

The former Three Lions skipper was among the interested observers as Gareth Southgate’s side got off to the perfect start in Russia with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tunisia.

Argentina did not fare as well in their opener, with Barcelona superstar Messi missing a penalty as they were held 1-1 by Iceland.

There is, however, still a long way to go and Beckham – who has plenty of personal history with the South Americans from the 1998 and 2002 events – believes two old adversaries will find enough form to book a showdown in Moscow on July 15.
