Favourite Football Moments part 2



It still sends shivers down my spine watching this goal go in. What this footage doesn't show is the 20 minutes prior to this when Beckham took sole responsibility for the whole English team's dire performance. He was only English player on the pitch who seemed to realise the significance of losing the game. At the point when the footage starts England were 30 seconds away from having to play a qualifying match to get into the World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea - a match they could easily have lost! Beckham ran around a like a crazy man trying to stop this happenning and then, with seconds left on the clock, sent a beautiful curling free kick into the top corner - proof that whilst football is very much a team game - one world class player, playing with heart and passion can make a heck of a difference!
