Mexico's soccer star is as big as Beckham
Cuauhtémoc Blanco, the former Mexico national team icon now plying his trade for Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, scored his third goal of the season on Thursday.
The goal has earned him comparisons with British footballing star David Beckham. Beckham, now playing soccer in the United States, has also scored three goals this season.
