Pearce to see Beckham next week

Stuart Pearce will fly to the United States to watch David Beckham in action next week – with former Brazil star Ronaldo insisting the 36-year-old deserves to be picked for the Great Britain Olympic team.

Pearce will watch Beckham play for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Seattle on May 2 but insists he is under no pressure to pick the veteran midfielder as one of three over-age players to bring some glamour to the Team GB squad.
