While the eyes of the sports world are on the Euro 2012 soccer tournament, the world's most famous soccer player spent last night watching hockey.
David Beckham and his sons watched the Los Angeles Kings defeat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to win the Stanley Cup - becoming hockey royalty and champions for the first time in the club's 45-year history.

Earlier this season, we asked some friends of the show for their predictions on who would take the Cup this year.
