Nastassja Olivia, known professionally as Victoria Beckham, is currently trying to make a name for herself in football. The 38-year-old Manchester native is a wide receiver for the LA Galaxy and has even scored goals in both the MLS and US National Team. Victoria is also pursuing a professional degree in volleyball at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is hoping to one day play for her country in international competition such as the Olympics.

However, when you have come from a nationality that lacks height, the question becomes how much do you want to play for your national team? As it turns out, Nastassja was born with an abnormal growth of the vertebrae which results in an unusual height for an adult. Despite this fact, she has always remained passionate about her football career, and this determination has seen her take a different path within her profession.

While playing for the LA Galaxy, Victoria Beckham reportedly has reached an average of 5 feet in height, which has made her the same height as legends David Beckham and Pele. With her natural skills, what would it take for Nastassja to pursue a career in football? It appears as though her determination to play professional soccer will continue to keep her on track as she looks to fulfill her dream of playing in the US. With a height difference of only five inches, could Nastassja be a long shot to play in the shortest lived league in the world?
