There's plenty of speculation and anticipation about who will light the Olympic flame on July 25 at the London Games Opening Ceremony.

Popular soccer player David Beckham, who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy after a great career in Europe, dismisses the notion that he should do it.

"Lighting the torch in the stadium is something that should be done by an Olympian, an Olympian that has done incredible things for our country and has won gold medals," he told The Associated Press.
