England need a goal to equalize to reach the World Cup Finals, 2002 directly. 92nd Minute, they win a Free-kick. Up steps England Captain, David Beckham! Enjoy the Highlights! #FootballTVNetwork
Having watched that game live on TV, I would have never remembered Beckham had taken not one, or two, or three but nine (9!) free kicks from the edge of our box. Most of them awarded for simple nudges. He was bound to score one of them.
Beckham was dreadful. He was meant to be the right winger and went AWOL. He was never where he was meant to be. If he'd stuck to his role, England could have won this by a cricket score.
I agree with you I was just watching the game, the final one was a joke that was called against the Greek player!! I do not know what the reff seen but I guess it was important for England to get through huge Market!!!
You're right, we were crap that day, but how many times have we been unlucky or been victims of a poor official? So we'll take the good results but poor performances at times, and what a free kick from Beckham to clinch our qualification.
@@GamingRobioto Yes you'll cry about argentinas handball goal or any other time you feel england were cheated. Wake up and realize it's just a silly game and you'll live a lot more peacefully
Actually the last full match I ever watched with my dad… even though he was jamaican, my brother and I being English, he was willing England on for the equaliser. When Beckham scored that goal, he was proud, to say the least. I’ll never forget this game and what it meant outside of football. Thanks, Beckham… RIP Pops
Well... as long as the referee keeps handing out non-existent fouls & free kicks... scoring just one out of 15, ain’t very good statistics, really. Disgraceful!
reminds me of the game against us and his amazing pass to Crouch for equalizer eventually, Petric scored third goal and England didn't qualified, but I'll always remember that beautifull cross by Beckham
@@cassiusvibert5064 keep that qualify in 2018 as an honor if you like...still Greece owns 2004 European Championship, something that England dont have even today! And still this game (2001) was a joke!
@@mpifteki000 That game got stolen from the Czech Republic, they won because of the stupid "Silver Goal" rule, didn't deserve it at all. Greece got a lucky goal in ET and the Czech Republic couldn't even play the second half because of that shitty rule. Undeserved game and I'm not even an England fan.
El minuto de Dios de david Beckham en el 2001 ante Grecia el día que Inglaterra le mandó a Alemania a la repesca. cuando Inglaterra clasifica al mundial 2002
Why not? Back then Greece had a decent team as much strong as Croatia or Switzerland, that even that England couldn't beat at their ground for a very crucial game for them? 3 years later that Greek players proved that they were a really strong team.
@@user-lo9wz9ek6d Και το δεύτερο ήταν ανύπαρκτο φάουλ. Τους γλεντησαμε κανονικά με 90-10 διαιτησία να παίζει έδρα. Επίσης όλοι αυτοί οι ξένοι προφανώς επειδή δε βολεύει, ξεχνούν ότι έχουν πάρει τίτλους με "σφαγές" και όταν παίζαμε με τις ίδιες αυτες "μεγάλες" ομάδες τις προηγούμενες δεκαετίες μας σφάζανε με το νυστέρι!
Nearly 20 years ago, this game was so frustrating. Typical England qualification nonsense, I was revising for me GCSE's and my parents were watching the game in the Living Room, I was popping in and out. I'll never forget being in my room and Mum saying "Gav, I know you're angry but Beckham has got a free kick in a good position, probably the last kick of the game!" I was being a sulky teenager and ignored her lmfao.
The only picture that i want to keep from this game is this tiny girl before the game. We played much better & the ref whistled 9 fouls(only 2 were fouls from 40 meters distance) in 20 minutes out of penalty area.I was so pissed after the match.
I've never really understood why England make such a big deal of this game? They were already guaranteed a play-off before kick off. In Germany the attitude going into the Finland game was very laid back and they knew there was only a slim chance of meeting a team capable of beating them over a two leg play-off.
Nijemci u zadnjem kolu nisu kuci dobili Finsku kao ni Englezi Grčku...na kraju Englezi na jedvite jade iskupase bod protiv Grka i odose kao prvi na svjetsko dok su Nijemci morali u baraž...kasnije na svjetskom Nijemci dođoše do finala ..

If you're a soccer player, you have to kick the ball correctly, Beckham is the only soccer player. Beckham's everything has to be made into the basic position of football!
Two observations. 1) without any black players the Lilly-white England team is a joke. 2) the referee tried valiantly to push England through awarding one free kick after another outside Greece's penalty box.Similar infractions by the England defenders went unnoticed. Useless footballing nation that has not won any major trophy since the disgrace of 1966
The ref was England's best player in that game, calling at least half a dozen 'ghost' fouls a couple of yards off the box, so that Beckam could score with a free kick; he finally did it...
