David Beckham

They only qualify because the process has been rigged by FIFA by giving CONCACAF more places in order to promote the game in North America. .

Rigged by FIFA who happen to have Jack Warner of CONCACAF as the vice pres? Surely not?!

I like the way the keeper runs away frm the ball

if you watch the full highlights from the original link, the LA Galaxy keeper makes some fantastic saves !

i have to agree. fantastic saves. the one that he tips around the post was probably a better piece of individual talent than beckhams free kick....if you see what i mean.

nice

It helped that the keeper obviously wasn't aware that Beckham could bend it like, well, Beckham, 'cos he went the wrong way for it!

There are loads of threads about Beckhams goal. One might be tempted to say fixtures....

Gerrard's was better.

"Straighten it like Gerrard" ??

nah, doesn't look right at all - and what about his missus? All anyone can sing is "'oo are ya, oo are ya?"
Nope, your namedropping has fallen flat mate, Beckams win.

Fantastic free-kick by David, still a bad move IMO.

Amazing league, amazing player Should be Englands number 7 for the next 5 years. And reinstated as captain with immediate effect. The only decent player we've had over the last 10 years.

They must think about making a film about his ability to bend a ball or
even a general football film.... it is criminal that nothing's come out yet...

Like 'Beckham can bend it' or

'Boy can he bend it'

or

'Bendy - you flipping betcha'

Just an idea.

but if you watch the kick from directly behind, the ball actually starts travelling to the keepers left and literally bends to his right. He didn't stand a chance really. Fair play to Beckham that's probably one of his best ever.

It is 11 years to the day that he scored from the halfway line against wimbledon at selhurst
