IT IS TWENTY YEARS SINCE DAVID BECKHAMS FREE KICK AGAINST GREECE.THAT TOOKTHEM TO THE WORLD CUP..

 Today it is  exactly 20,  twenty  years since David Beckham  curled his  wonder free kick against Greece in the world cup qualifier .But people still talk and watch it over and over again.

 How important was  that beauty of a curling free kick  ,  Greece were leading England 2-0 but Teddy Sherringham pulled one back  and in the injury time David Beckham  scored the goal of his life time I must say.

 But there was  further drama way in  Finland, there Germany and Fin;land were playing a world cup qualifier and if Germany did defeat  Finland then Germany would make it over England on points.

 But he Fin goalkeeper  Anti Neimi, played  the match of his life that day, stubbornly stood like the Berlin wall..And the match ended 0-0. and it favored England to qualify for he 2002 world cup.

 David Beckham said his of that game, I still get goosebumps when I think of t and oh yes I was very sure that ball would be  in the net.

 David Beckham  said he redeemed himself  then after the 1998 red card in the world cup match against Argentina.
