David Beckham is among the first-time candidates on the 33-player ballot for the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame. ESPN FC reached out to our MLS experts Jeff Carlisle, Jason Davis, Graham Parker, Arch Bell and Matt Pentz to ask whether or not the former LA Galaxy midfielder is deserving of a place alongside the best to ever play the game in the United States.
Yes
When it comes to having Beckham in the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame, I'll confess to having some mixed emotions.
Without question, Beckham was a huge presence on the LA Galaxy teams that won back-to-back MLS Cups in 2011 and 2012.
