moments like this, define the true great players, sure you can be a great player. And score goals against the likes of west brom or charlton. Or you shine, on the moments you really need to...thats what defines the great from the legends.
Maaaaaan, I CANNOT stop coming back to this video every couple of weeks to hear Motty scream, "BECKHAAAAAAAAAAAM" and then to hear the crowd roar. I must have accounted for at least half of the views that this video has had in total - yet STILL it sends shivers down my spine and leaves me with a massive grin on my face, whilst punching the air with my fist; every time I watch it. What a beauty,..
Thumbs up if you were watching in a pub and remember that moment of silence, as the ball flew through the air, then that moment of complete disbelief.
It's as if the angels, heavens and gods had set up the stage for Greece to lead 1-2 until the 93rd minute and placed the spotlight on a scrutanized, battered and emotionally attacked Beckham to redeem himself in the eyes of not only the England fans, but the world.

im greek and although i hate the goal, i thinkk its definately his best goal ever. one of the best from one of the greats. love beckham and the way he plays... best free kick ever.. sadly enough
@dumfries93 i am, but i live in australia. i was born here and everything, i just like this goal cos of everything that happened (beckham relationship with the public) and the way the game panned out (he carried england the whole game). but i dislike it cos it was against greece
I was just looking at Scholes and Beckham and thinking to myself 'how did this England team not win any trophies?'... and then Emile Heskey walked in front of the camera.
@thisnotmyname Heskey had nothing to do with England not winning a trophy, we still had the prolific Michael Owen who was one of the best young strikers in the world at that time. If anything, Heskey complimented Owen very well.
dont be haters english people. We greeks have won the european championship in the past, what have you got? A world cup back in the 60's? Englishmen my foot...
@Joshfc123 i couldnt agree with you more mate its just as good as it gets in footnall lol. i think if there is such a better goal than this, it would have to be from god. :)
if I had 1000 thumbs, I would vote for Beckham :)))) and to hell all those who say he's a sheet, the sheet couldn't do all those kicks that this man did for MU, England and for the world football history!
forget its Beckham, forget its for England, forget whether the free kick award was correct or not, you won't see many free kicks ever beat that for sheer skill and class.
alot of teams have won and didnt deserve the win. THATS WHAT FOOTBALL IS. it don't matter if you deserve it or not... its whoever puts the ball in the back of the net the most. end of discussion. great freekick, great memory and BECKHAM deserved that freekick after all the hard work he had put it. The freekick was actualy given as the ref failed to give a succession of fouls in the previous 25 minutes. Greece = PONY nation, in debt, sweaty fat women and shit footballing league / history.
@Jamster946 You stole marbles, even whole words from this country so I guess that makes you worse. Greece throughout history displayed unsurpassed dignity. If you judge by the governors then it's safe to say UK is gay.
@skidillydoo86 Greece are a phony nation!!!!. They fucking destroyed the Persian Empire who were one of the largest and most powerful civilizations, ever more powerful than the Romans, that is extreemly impressive, The greeks were powerful and wealthy and still are, stop being an idiot.
@giantsyankees123 The USA is just a vunerable as everyone else, 911 proved that they are not as untouchable as they once thought. I don't suppose you have ever heard of stealth missles and weapons or gruellia warfare, people who use such things will batter anyone.
@CashSmeller yeah the ref was confident that beckham, after running his socks of, would smash the ball in the top corner. after all it was just in the 93minute, whole of england and more watching. totally expected that. no pressure at all. happens all the time.
@tigerman3012 Fuck off you Greek piece of shit. Your football is absolute shit compared to England. WE got Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard. Incredible young players aswell, Jack Wilshere, Connor Wickham, Chris Smalling. Stop living in the past you Greek prick. Where are Greece rated in the world?
AHAHAH, I'm not Greek!!!! I'm Portuguese!!!! And it is your football that is shit compared to Portugal, that have been beating England for 4 times in the last 40 YEARS!!!!!!!
@tigerman3012 Then why do you care what Greece win? Just 'cause you hate England? And by the way, your BIGGEST star and best ever player, a certain mr Ronaldo, was trained in England and became the best player in the world. So fuck off. And football in Portugal is shit anyway.
@tigerman3012 Ronaldo was not great playing for Sporting Lisbon, it was Sir Alex who coached him to be the best footballer in the world. Before he moved to Man U he was nothing. BEST, BECKHAM, CANTONA, RONALDO. Why are they all from Manchester United and why do they wear No 7? I cannot think of one good player who was famous from Shitty Sporting Lisbon. Manchester turns good players into Great players. This is why Manchester can win the champions league and why Sporting wins fuck all (nothing).
if you watch again, the crowd goes mental, the supporters go mental, the commentator goes mental... but some of the England players seem like "big deal" !
I've never seen a free kick taken with such elegance and perfection under the most pressurised scenarios. The way he strode up to that ball. The way how he hit the sweet spot on the ball. The vicious curl on it's way to the net. Even as a Scotsman that was something to watch. An absolutely sublime goal.
@007agon I like football but I also like other sports. I don't think it's fair to say it's the real sport. It's the most popular sport by far but not the only real sport. What a goal by the way.
@BenNevisable um, go fuck your self dude cuz what i said was my oppinion and, 48 other people agreed and i didnt fucking call other sports gay u dumbass! i play baseball, football, soccer, and basketball and IN MY FUCKING OPPINION, i think soccer is the best sport!! so again,go fuck your self!
to score such an important goal in the last minute & then celebrate in front of thousands of screaming england supporters is just truely epic, really it is!
@youarecool648 Fake? Are you a moron? I watched the match. Half the population in England were screaming when it went in.. Why do foreign people watch England goals? Gets on my proud, British titties.
As pathetic as Greece is,atleast they've won an important trophy in recent history,Euro 04 & they beat 2 teams which whooped England in that tourney,Portugal & France. England still talk bout 1966 like its ystrdy. And they cheated their way 2 dat fake home victory,so unimpressive. England is the worst futbal team ever
@ihatewestlifesince99 "which whooped england in that tourney" actually france came back very fortunately to win 2-1 in the last minutes and then portugal beat us on penalties. Are you that retarted, you actually think that means they "whooped" us? idiot.
Its sad that this is one of the best moments England have had of very recent times. The new generation have a chance unless they become overpayed bastards like some of those playing now.
Remember, in my mates living room, i was 8, we was on the edge of the couch, with our fingers crossed, it was a sunny day, i live 12 miles from Old Trafford, we couldn't get tickets to the game,
Beckham takes the freekick, Beckham scores,
me and my mates start running around and we went outside to act the freekick out,
yes i remember this day like if it was yesterday :)
Beckham's effort was good, his positional play was abysmal. The team was poor, but, I repeat, there was no shape. BECKHAM took our centre out the game. He was supposed to play as a right midfielder, but didn't. Beckham's NEVER, at any time, been england's best player. Had beckham kept the shape (basic tactics), who knows how the team could have performed. I suspect gerrard and scholes would have got more involved. and yes at that time from 30-35 yd gerrard was better suited to taking free kicks
@mahoolahoo Beckham isn't a winger. He can't dribble. He made his name as a RM, but always wanted to play CM. His lack of discipline means he hits long balls rather than crossing. If you're CM, you want ball to feet, and you want movement from forwards and wide men to give you options as a playmaker to get a ball in final third. If your RM is spraying long balls to forwards(CM job) 2 things happen: 1. CMs not getting the ball (balls over their heads) 2. your RM is now not in the final third.
@mahoolahoo Both things destroy team shape. He got away with it because he was the media darling, still is. But he has always been criticised for footballing faultsl. Beckhams best moments didn't come at CM. There were better CMs at every team he played for.
Best free kick taker from 20-25 yds. Great crosser. If he was a one-trick pony, everybody would see how limited he was. Lucky for him, he was a two trick pony. To be fair (and this isn't down to luck) he was world class at those two tricks.
@T1memaster I don't see how that's relevant to anything i've said. I'm not good enough to play like Beckham. I couldn't put the necessary amount of hours in to be that good.
My point here is that no matter how good an individual performance, if it detracts from the team performance then it is strange to praise that individual as the saviour of the "poor" team.
The reason most people rate Messi over Ronaldo is that Messi plays for the team, Ronaldo plays for himself. Team is more important.
@FlapJack2206 Why? Why haven't you addressed any of my tactical points? I'd have told beckham to stay on the right, give the CMs options, and put in crosses from the corner touch lines. Like Giggs does. We'd have won by loads! ;) Beckham instead wandered everywhere, took away options from the team, and delivered balls from deep. Are these not facts? Or do you disagree with the implications of these facts? These are the only two reasons as to why i'm not right with my conclusions.
@mahoolahoo haha fair enough man you have your opinion.. i have mine.. beckham did usually play the way you think he should have played in this game.. but IMO it was a crucial game and i would have taken result over performance and for that reason i didnt care about the midfield structure... beckham got us the result not gerrard or scholes... whether or not this was beckhams fault or not he still rose to the occasion when no one else even looked like doing.
@FlapJack2206 Well exactly, I was as happy as anyone when this went in. Gerrard and Scholes had no effect on the game. I'm certain that was down to structure. Nobody's denying that was a crucial goal. My only point was that I don't like Beckham being praised and the rest of the team being slagged off for this performance. We got lucky. Regardless of whether we won that game or not, England are destined to failure while tactical flaws exist.
@mahoolahoo I just see things in games and it annoys me when people overlook them. Recently I was annoyed at the Barca 5 real 0 game. The commentator, and subsequent analysts said barca were too good and real could do nothing. Not true. Real could not even do the basics, passing out of play under no pressure etc. They could have tried to keep the ball a little more. Yes Barca were good, but Real were bad also. The analysts liked to focus on Barca tactics rather than Reals.
@mahoolahoo Pundits are just lazy now, offerring nothing but cliches and platitutdes. If you want to know what I mean, just listen to Lawrenson or Shearer, or Colleymore, or Redknapp. Absolute garbage. It's all just media soundbites. I watched MOTD2 last season, when Hansen and Bilic were pundits. It was amazing. Pure tactics, insightful analysis and no cliches.
The media is too pro-Beckham. He's never been the best footballer for England. Beckham should not be above criticism. The end. ;)
@mahoolahoo no-one claims that beckham was the best footballer england have had. hes just a true professional, with determination and incredible raw talent. these things, along with his professionalism and modesty off the pitch, have made him a great ambassador for england.
@coolguy8382002 well, i kind of agree with what you're saying. A lot of that is media generated though. He's a top athlete. But don't forget ferguson didn't approve of the effect of his high profile on his game. I was objecting to people implying that he WAS the best england player (in this game). I don't think Beckham should ever have been england captain. The triumph of style over substance that he embodies is endemic of the malaise of englands "golden generation."

@007agon I like football but I also like other sports. I don't think it's fair to say it's the real sport. It's the most popular sport by far but not the only real sport. What a goal by the way.

As pathetic as Greece is,atleast they've won an important trophy in recent history,Euro 04 & they beat 2 teams which whooped England in that tourney,Portugal & France. England still talk bout 1966 like its ystrdy. And they cheated their way 2 dat fake home victory,so unimpressive. England is the worst futbal team ever

Beckham takes the freekick, Beckham scores,
me and my mates start running around and we went outside to act the freekick out,

Beckham's effort was good, his positional play was abysmal. The team was poor, but, I repeat, there was no shape. BECKHAM took our centre out the game. He was supposed to play as a right midfielder, but didn't. Beckham's NEVER, at any time, been england's best player. Had beckham kept the shape (basic tactics), who knows how the team could have performed. I suspect gerrard and scholes would have got more involved. and yes at that time from 30-35 yd gerrard was better suited to taking free kicks

@mahoolahoo Beckham isn't a winger. He can't dribble. He made his name as a RM, but always wanted to play CM. His lack of discipline means he hits long balls rather than crossing. If you're CM, you want ball to feet, and you want movement from forwards and wide men to give you options as a playmaker to get a ball in final third. If your RM is spraying long balls to forwards(CM job) 2 things happen: 1. CMs not getting the ball (balls over their heads) 2. your RM is now not in the final third.
mahoolahoo 1 year ago
@mahoolahoo Both things destroy team shape. He got away with it because he was the media darling, still is. But he has always been criticised for footballing faultsl. Beckhams best moments didn't come at CM. There were better CMs at every team he played for.
Best free kick taker from 20-25 yds. Great crosser. If he was a one-trick pony, everybody would see how limited he was. Lucky for him, he was a two trick pony. To be fair (and this isn't down to luck) he was world class at those two tricks.

T1memaster 1 year ago
@T1memaster I don't see how that's relevant to anything i've said. I'm not good enough to play like Beckham. I couldn't put the necessary amount of hours in to be that good.
My point here is that no matter how good an individual performance, if it detracts from the team performance then it is strange to praise that individual as the saviour of the "poor" team.
The reason most people rate Messi over Ronaldo is that Messi plays for the team, Ronaldo plays for himself. Team is more important.

FlapJack2206 1 year ago
@FlapJack2206 Why? Why haven't you addressed any of my tactical points? I'd have told beckham to stay on the right, give the CMs options, and put in crosses from the corner touch lines. Like Giggs does. We'd have won by loads! ;) Beckham instead wandered everywhere, took away options from the team, and delivered balls from deep. Are these not facts? Or do you disagree with the implications of these facts? These are the only two reasons as to why i'm not right with my conclusions.
mahoolahoo 1 year ago
@mahoolahoo haha fair enough man you have your opinion.. i have mine.. beckham did usually play the way you think he should have played in this game.. but IMO it was a crucial game and i would have taken result over performance and for that reason i didnt care about the midfield structure... beckham got us the result not gerrard or scholes... whether or not this was beckhams fault or not he still rose to the occasion when no one else even looked like doing.
FlapJack2206 1 year ago
@FlapJack2206 Well exactly, I was as happy as anyone when this went in. Gerrard and Scholes had no effect on the game. I'm certain that was down to structure. Nobody's denying that was a crucial goal. My only point was that I don't like Beckham being praised and the rest of the team being slagged off for this performance. We got lucky. Regardless of whether we won that game or not, England are destined to failure while tactical flaws exist.

@mahoolahoo I just see things in games and it annoys me when people overlook them. Recently I was annoyed at the Barca 5 real 0 game. The commentator, and subsequent analysts said barca were too good and real could do nothing. Not true. Real could not even do the basics, passing out of play under no pressure etc. They could have tried to keep the ball a little more. Yes Barca were good, but Real were bad also. The analysts liked to focus on Barca tactics rather than Reals.

@mahoolahoo Pundits are just lazy now, offerring nothing but cliches and platitutdes. If you want to know what I mean, just listen to Lawrenson or Shearer, or Colleymore, or Redknapp. Absolute garbage. It's all just media soundbites. I watched MOTD2 last season, when Hansen and Bilic were pundits. It was amazing. Pure tactics, insightful analysis and no cliches.
The media is too pro-Beckham. He's never been the best footballer for England. Beckham should not be above criticism. The end. ;)
mahoolahoo 1 year ago
@mahoolahoo no-one claims that beckham was the best footballer england have had. hes just a true professional, with determination and incredible raw talent. these things, along with his professionalism and modesty off the pitch, have made him a great ambassador for england.

@coolguy8382002 well, i kind of agree with what you're saying. A lot of that is media generated though. He's a top athlete. But don't forget ferguson didn't approve of the effect of his high profile on his game. I was objecting to people implying that he WAS the best england player (in this game). I don't think Beckham should ever have been england captain. The triumph of style over substance that he embodies is endemic of the malaise of englands "golden generation."
