Totally best individual performance I have ever seen by anyone out of pure passion for his country and his team. Amazing. That what made Beckham so great, besides all his brilliance he worked like a horse. By the way, the best player he saw in modern football (his words!) and the one player Beckenbauer always wanted to buy was Beckham! He famously gave up when the galacticos came in.

The passion with which he speaks about his England career and his captaincy is just incredible and what makes him up there with only a handful of legendary players. He lived for it.

There have been games in the past where players have put in great individual performances, but there have been few where one player has carried the entire team and the entire nation on his back through a game, but Beckham vs Greece was one of them. He was absolutely everywhere that day, I can't remember another performance like that by anyone in an England shirt, players in 2021 should be looking back at that performance and striving to do it for England in the Euros. I think we often accuse players of not deserving the shirt, that day the shirt barely deserved Beckham.

Before the group draws of Euro 2004 after the match with Spain, we even played a friendly against Portugal in Portugal! And we had draw 1-1, we were 1st to score ! We had a a friendly against Netherlands in Netherlands, they couldn't score against us too! Final result 0-0! But for some reason we weren't even considered as dark horses!! So thanks for underestimating Greece and made us do the unthinkable!

It was the greatest sporting moment I ever experienced being amongst very subdued England fans in a pub, and I was not even that knowleable with football (cricket is my fanatical sport and i have had a lot of special moments with that sport), but my friends were more knowledgable and I was there for them. But I followed the match, I knew what was at stake and when I saw that ball curved, somehow passing that wall and curving away from a perplexed goalkeeper into that far top corner of the goal at the last minute when everything appeared to be lost...a flood of euphoria swept me and I was in awe...and Beckham became a god to me as I could see how talented he was through that game, working his socks off. Although there have been many more special moments in sport such as Stokes triple dose of cricketing magic in 2019, nothing matched this Beckham moment for me even though I don't follow the sport!
