david beckham goal 2002 world cup

In the wake of David Beckham's retirement today, here's his best moment ever.

England was down 2-1 to Greece in the 93rd minute in 2002 World Cup qualification.

If they lost, they would have had to play Ukraine in a tricky playoff to qualify for the tournament. If they tied, they would have automatically qualified (after Germany tied Finland in a simultaneous game).

Seconds from the final whistle, England won a free-kick 30 yards from goal.

With the crowd on its feet, Beck stepped up and bent it into the top left corner. The goalie had no chance. England went to the World Cup.

Bend it!
