England expects

Last Thursday the Prime Minister visited the Brazilian Football Museum in Sao Paulo with Brazilian President Lula. They announced a ’sporting co-operation’ between English and Brazilian football authorities, including the opportunity for English players to further their development in Brazil as well as referee training and technical assistance.

Earlier this afternoon, he found time to present President Lula a signed England shirt as part of our bid to win the 2018 World Cup. I’m told that David Beckham was delighted to play his part in supporting the bid. You can see that President Lula looked happy when he received his gift!

UPDATE: Just transcribed the message:
“Dear President Lula, In recognition of the friendship in football between england and brazil Best wishes, David Beckham”
