David Beckham’s last-second free kick against Greece deserves a deep rewind
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 04. 2019
- It’s October 6th, 2001. We’re at Old Trafford in Manchester, England. Greece leads the Three Lions two-to-one in the 93rd minute, and has the opportunity to keep England from qualifying for the 2002 World Cup.
With David Beckham lining up for a free kick, the English National Team is looking for a miracle in the closing seconds. Make it and Beckham becomes a national hero just four years after effigies of the captain burned in the streets of England following the 1998 World Cup. Miss it and the British get to add a new chapter to their history of national team disappointment.
But how’d we get here? How’d England put themselves in position for possibly yet another heartbreak on a national level? How has a Greek team with nothing to play for nearly pulled this off? Before we get to a moment that will define English football - either through success or failure - we need to rewind.

Thanks for checking out this episode, and I apologize for the use of the term "British" in describing the English National Team. You see, I am just some simple, uncultured American. I definitely didn't live in Woking from 1995-1998 and I for sure didn't go to grade school in Egham or hang out at the Guilford Spectrum near my dad's office. I don't even know what those things are! Anyway, this is to say, my bad. I know better. I will be skipping tea today as punishment.

Great vid
@@BigDaddy-cc8xm thanks! really happy you enjoyed it
more soccer vids pretty pretty plz.
Ha. Watching this from Woking right now. Tsk tsk Will
Hate soccer but love the soccer rewinds I'm gonna buy my mates some fish and chips at the pub tonite
Please do how Leicester City won the league in the 15/16 season
we still not understand it.
TheGamerBem Well if you see the series, it’s always a single moment. The moment Leicester won the league was Hazards goal vs spurs. So they’ll have to make a video on hazards goal.
TheGamerBem +
George1098 it wasn’t they had it won spurs weren’t catching up
They received the most points which resulted in winning the premiership
"Tough Finland squad" Now that's something you don't hear often in football.
hey. FInland tough. They fight Mother Russia, you know they tough. No diss Finland.
Finland is the best European team to never make the World Cup.
@GreenTeaKitKat true, however that might be really close to changing.
Tough Finland sniper is common
@GreenTeaKitKat Even Latvia has made it to an Euro
The first glimpse of Greece's Golden Generation that won Euro 2004.
I don't want to do this 😆 congratulations
Even though I watched them win that tournament, I still constantly forget that they won it.
@@mattnorris7124 that's because they paid for it.

"Welcome to a moment in history" gets me every time.
ikr, it gives me goosebumps
2:36 : Fun Fact
The person that Beckam kicked is now the manager of Atletico Madrid 😮😮
AH25 Diego simeone, great manager. Still hate him tho
Diego Simeone, who was a kick-the-hell-out-of-opponents defensive midfielder.

You should definitely do Greece's Euro 2004 win!
Greece suck at football
Mr WIND yeah, that’s why it’s amazing how they won
@@nwind7709 Well, sucks is kinda farfetched...
@@nwind7709 we have manolas sokratis and fortounis i wouldn't say we suck
@@oec9355 well we do
craziest part about this video was how two years later this greece squad was one of the best in Europe winning the euros
As if you didn’t use the ‘beckham could raise the roof here with a goal’ commentary!! That’s as iconic as AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I never got that because he said "David Beckham has just scored the goal to take England all the way to the world cup final" was he just anticipating that they'd make the final?
Stamatis Paleocrassas no, the finals, these were the qualifiers, trying to qualify for the finals of the world cup
@@SPaleocrassas it said the finals, not the final. It's two different things.
Ohhhhh ya beautayyy!!!! What a hit, son, what a hit!
inb4 all the scots irish and welsh come to the comments complaining about the use of british
Rhys Groombridge I’m English and it’s still annoying although it’s gonna really piss off the rest of the UK
I put all my energy into not saying soccer that it opened me up to new mistakes
-Will
inb4 Irish people complain about you calling all of them British
Rhys... That's an English name isn't it?
Nah, I couldn't care less about it tbh
For any American out there, I can't tell you how emotional this is. I'm English, and it brings tears to my eyes and shivers down my spine whenever I watch this. This is what football is about. The beautiful game.
The closest emotional moment we have in football is probably Landon Donovan's stoppage time winner against Albania to send us to the round of 16 in 2010 or John Brooks stoppage time header to help us get revenge on Ghana in 2014. Not as good as Becks for sure but thats all we got lol
@@aaronsimmons1536 that was against algeria, not albania
@@iancoit509 I promise that's not NA education lol I just had a lapse in brain cells I swear
@@aaronsimmons1536 To be fair, if the Landon Donovan moment had happened to a country where soccer wasn't merely the 5th or 6th most popular sport, it would have dwarfed even the Beckham moment imo. You're talking about a goal that takes you from being eliminated, to topping the group and keeping your world cup dreams alive, rather than just qualifying. It's a far better moment than we in the US deserved, almost nobody cared sadly haha...
@@vg9073 Well that's an opinion you hold retrospectively
This was the greatest goal David Beckham ever scored in his entire career. One of the best international goals ever.
Where's the "Beckham could raise the roof with goal here" commentary
Theres bbc/itv and sky if i remember correctly, martin tyler said he could raise the roof but it was clive tyldsly that said "well, you do feel with players like david beckham there are moments of destiny laid out before them..."
Bang!
Even got gooseys writing that, I was 15 when this game happened. Football had r9 ronaldo, zizou and defenders that knew how to defend and would shut down top players today week in, week out. Cristiano wouldnt touch seria a 20 years ago.
5:14
2001: He scores a goal for Greece which really doesn't matter at all for the Greek national team.
2004: He scores the winning goal for Greece to win the Euro 2004.
Football changes so quickly.
hey bro
dont forget that greece won the 2004 euro
1-0 over portugal
Please do the 2005 champion's league final please
what does elude your brain about the "deep rewind" format? it's one moment, one single action that changed the history of a match, or of a championship, not 10 minutes of play, one, single, moment
@@Moribax85 could very easily do it at the last shot of the penalty shootout and do the entire match
we found a Milan fan
edit: I was thinking of the wrong final mb
@@rizune who's that?
@@Moribax85 Maybe the magic seven minutes takes all the attention, but you can take Dudek's double save in extra time as the "Deep Rewind" point.
It's not just the Miracle of Istanbul itself, it's all the stuff that happened and/or would happened. I mean:
-Steven Gerrard, local hero, was about to sign with Chelsea _before_ the match. Had Liverpool lost miserably, wouldn't he keep on his move to London?
-As of 2019, Milan is a complete shitshow. Can we argue that losing in such a way was the beginning of the end (that also belongs to Collapse, but you understand the point: altering moment).
Now, what is in fact a moment. Nowhere it's defined as _just mere seconds_ . It can be a free-kick, a dunk, a fumble recovery... and also seven magical minutes.
You can’t say British when talking about the England team.
He's referring to English Brits
@@eshai27 hilarious. You don't know what you're talking about and neither does the little worm in the video, so don't bother defending him.
@@James40000 I meant to say he's referring rather than not referring. British is anyone from Great Britain and an Englishman can be called a Brit.
@@James40000 Relax
@@eshai27 I mean, calling an Englishman a Brit could be calling them Welsh, or Scottish. English people don't like that.
Would love a deep rewind on the 2005 Champions League Final. Has much potential!!
As a man u fan, definently!
wheelaja Or better yet, last night’s game!
Don't forget Greece winning the euros in Portugal
They were also the only nation to defeat Portugal in group play and Portugal still made the final despite the loss then lost again to them in the final
That was like 2004, who cares
@@mohommadhabibi4616 This David Beckham goal was in 2001 what's your excuse?
@@OhyeahMrKrabz why would I need an excuse? My point is who cares.
You said Greece winning was in 2004 who cares well this was in 2001 3 years earlier so what's your point?
One of the most iconic celebrations ever
You could do the English Premier League great escape 2004/05. Last day of the season, any one of the bottom four teams could possibly stay up, dubbed Survival Sunday
West Brom was bottom at Xmas and seemed condemned to relegatio
What were the teams?
@@kennethwilkinson2095 Crystal Palace, Southampton, Norwich and West Brom
But hey Greece won the euro 3 years later
MÖzil 99 - and my Greek boyfriend doesn’t let me forget it.
This was brilliantly made - thank you 💫 i remember this game so vividly; the free kick was a thing of the purest beauty.
David Beckham's accuracy with free-kicks and frequency of scoring from distance made him world-class. I was glad to watch him play when his matches were on television.
I think SB should do a Rewind episode on the Greek team's victory in Euro 2004. That was a very unlikely result...
The legendary moment for David Beckham. Great job as always SB Nation👍🏼
Thank you. Thank you so much for another Football video. I've been waiting for so long.
I really enjoy these football rewinds! I hope you'll do more of them in the future! Tragically this also reminded me about how Finland has not made into a single world or European cup ever. Even with our ``golden genereation´´ that was at its peak in 01, we were left third. Maybe in 50 years, we can try to try again!
2:40 “that Argentine?” It’s Diego Simone
Also "Greek Forward".... Please put some respect on Angelos Charisteas's name!
Hes american
You should've pointed out that Shilton was 40 during the Italia 90
And dived so late for each kick that they were past him before he could react.
Bobby Robson was supposed to bring Dave Beasant on if there was a shootout, but forgot to name him on the bench.
Chelsea's win against Bayern Munich in UEFA Champions League final in 2012 deserves a deep Rewind.
this guy deserves so much more the amount of time and effort he puts in to each and every video is just incredable
I always love the recap they showed before the huge moment. Keep up the great work sb nation
Any chance you can do a rewind on the history of the Brazil National Team and all of their success in the World Cup? Love all the content you guys provide! Extremely high quality 😊
Rewinder on the 1999 Champions League final please.
Edit: AND last night's insane quarter final 2nd leg (City vs Spurs)
I second this one. That match is still so amazing.
“Welcome to a moment in history...into Shreringham AND SOLSKJAER HAS WON IT!”
Maybe they should do last night game too!
God bless you for uploading this ❤️
These are my favorite videos you create on this channel. They’re so well done. I’m surprised you guys haven’t done Game 6 of the 2011 World Series yet. That’s an all timer.
This is great SB Nation. As a lover of all sports, I’d love to see you cover something like the dramatic 1999 Cricket World Cup semi final or the elation of the nail biting 2003 Rugby World Cup final.
That was a really overdramatic presentation to be honest...
The group's runner-up's play-off game was against... Ukraine... Which at the time had an entirely unspectacular team.
Germany won the playoff with an aggregate score of 5-2. I have no doubts that England would have likely succeeded in it, even if they lost this game to Greece.
It gaves me goosebump, subscribed
Absolutely one of the most memorable moments in football! Amazing xx
Deep rewinder Malcolm Butler's interception (SB49), OR Odell Beckham's famous 1 handed catch
I know we realllllly need to do the Butler INT, definitely will be getting to that one. OBJ's catch is a little trickier given the circumstances so I'm not positive we'll get a Rewinder on that one, but we did hit it a bit in the Giants Collapse episode as well as the OBJ vs Norman beef history - hopefully that can scratch the itch for now
SB Nation if we do Butler’s INT, May we also do Richard Sherman’s tip ball to Malcolm Smith to send the Seahawks to the Super Bowl the year prior? I still get legitimate heartbreak from that play 😂😂.
@@SecretBaseSBN is there a timeframe for when we should expect a rewinder on the Butler INT?
i am greek with not very good english but i give beckham that very good goal although i was not very happy that day!
Your English is great!
THANK YOU SBN I THOUGHT THIS IS COMING WHEN YALL DID THE PREVIEW
This makes me cry every time. Goosebumps!
Please make "Ramos header vs Atlético in 2014". It would be the hell of a video considering the history behind that goal.
Virginia’s 2019 March madness run deserves a rewind
Great video as always! It’s always appreciated when you do videos on sports/moments outside North America👍👍 Maybe you can do a rewinder on the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final (widely considered the greatest game of football ever played)
You don't understand how many times I've watched that clip back. What a great rewind.
You need to do Greece's victory at the Euro's under the same manager.
Barcelona vs Chelsea semifinal 2009 needs a rewinder
Or a "THE WORST" episode ("The Worst UEFA Champions League match")?
i do genuinely still get goosebumps watching that free kick go in
goosebumps...every time
more obscure but the 2016 scottish cup final ending Hibs' 114 year wait for a scottish cup would be sick as hell (with a winning goal in injury time what more do you want)
You should do a rewind for the 2004 euro that Greece won
Really really good videos man
This video still gives me the goosebumps
2012 Champions League Final for the Rewind please!
-Maybe you can do a deep rewind about the Gotze goal to win Germany first World Cup after the merge of East and West, that could be interesting(although many people were salty about that win let's be honest)
-Another not as popular but personally one that I have very deep attachments to is the infamous penalty Drogba took to seal Chelsea's first ever Champions League title ( may be a stretch but it has a much more storied history compared to Liverpool and Ac Milan final)
Loving the Deep Rewinds for all the sports title, really makes you feel like you are in the moment when it happened, keep up the good work!
Goosebumps. Every. Time
Rewind the 2014 NFC championship game
Do England’s first ever World Cup penalty shootout win at Russia 2018 it meant so much to the whole nation after so many years of hurt
It's likely too recent
You should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
THANK YOU
Tbh Beckham's status in pop culture (good looks, celebrity wife, huge net worth etc) have made many kids from this young generation, and even many people who may have watched him play, forget just how incredibly gifted he was. World class footballer at his best.
U talk about the background for 10 minutes and can’t get a replay 👏
Exactly, was looking for this comment. Not even a shot of the crowd.
“Beckham could raise the roof here with a goal”
“I don't believe it David Beckham scores the goal to put England all the way to the world cup finals”
Still gives me goosebumps
Goosebumps again
You need to do Steve Gleason’s blocked punt against the Falcons. That moment is iconic in the city of New Orleans.
Asxp Michael Only knows him because of the documentary of Gleason , would want to hear the story about him even I don’t watch this sport
Please can you consider doing Ghana 🇬🇭 vs Uruguay 🇺🇾
2010 World Cup South Africa
Great video btw 👌
Ah Suarez, biggest cheat in football lol.
I was in school (in Kenya) when Asamoah missed that penalty, the collective groan heard around the school was deafening!
People went absolutely delirious, someone tossed a chair, a window was smashed, some just stormed out of the building and didn't watch another match of that world cup after.
From that day forward, the name Suarez was also used as a disparaging insult. It was no longer just a Spanish name but the name of a "lying, cheating dog" as one put it. Lol
That one’s hard, if only b/c it’s tough to tell exactly where “Turns off the TV📺” would take place... after the handball? After the missed PK by Gyan? Or after Abreu scores Palenka style to win it?
I might be biased as a Greek (and not, dues it hurt to watch that goal all those year later), but I don't think there's an awful lot better stories than Greece winning against the USSR in the EuroBasket final in 1987
Bro. Us Raw Football/Soccer fans really need channel like this. You have no idea how many times I've scoured through Wikipedia to get information like this on Football History.
Please do the 2005 Champions League final, it’s the greatest comeback of all time
Constantly referring to the English national team as the British is a good way to rile up a few feathers, even though it's technically correct.
Its not correct at all. you have thoroughly riled my feathers
tmacman Britain is Scotland wales and England, therefore it’s wrong
@@ciarangrimes7912 In the way it's referred to, the English are British, so it's right. Why it would upset people, is that it is being said in a way that implies the English team represents the British, so in that way it's wrong. Hence the word "technically".
tmacman but it’s not technically correct, as referring to them as the “British national team” is wrong, as the England national team does not represent Britain. This is very obvious, as a Great Britain team exists in football, primarily when the olympics comes around
So glad to see you doing a soccer rewind again🙌🏽 how about the rewind for the World Cup match in Korea where the ref was undoubtably bias and helped South Korea advance against Italy and Spain. Cheers!
More soccer please. Love this series
Can you do Dallas Braden's Mothers Day Perfect Game for Mother's Day weekend? Thanks!
I agree
You should do a rewind for Tiger Woods at the Masters today. That would be perfect.
Love these vids, but they never show enough of the aftermath. Super abrupt endings.
I love these deep rewinds
please make one about leicester 15/16, or the infamous 2005 champions league final. or both.
You should do the 2011 World series game 6, it would be so perfect this
Chandler Barr i’m from st. louis i want this to happen so bad
pretty sure they are doing this in the next few weeks
This is such a great moment in sporting history.
I would like to see a deep rewind on when Norway beat Brazil in the 1998 World Cup.
It's a great moment in norwegian football history and the ending to the match is incredible.
That moment has a near and dear place in my heart and i would be very grateful if you could do an episode on it.
Thank you.

You should do Baggio missed penalty in the 94 World Cup
Another overrated moment. Even if Baggio had scored, Brazil could have won by scoring the next penalty. Why not bring up Baresi or Massaro, the other 2 guys who missed and were far more responsible than Baggio since they took penalties before Baggio.
@@edwardthomas3442 But is not just about the penalty itselft, but Baggio. Without him Italy would never be in the final
And for Brazil was a revenge of 1982 and ended a drought of 24 years without a World Cup.
