What a game ,and what a penalty ,to finally rid ourselves of the Argentinian monkey.
There is a memorable story behind this goal,for me at least.
I was on holiday in N.I. when this game was on ,and of course, the bigotted Irish were all singing and dancing at the prospect of their inferiority complexes being relinquished with England losing a game.When suddenly Beckham had another free-kick.
Of course the murmers were all saying "he won't score,he's been missing them all day"
I made a little prayer to God and said "If you let this go in and England qualify for the World Cup,I will go to church on Sunday"
Beckham lined up for the free-kick and then ran with his swagger towards the ball.The ball zipped and curved through the air and into the corner.
.........GOAL.........
The whole place was quiet with the exception of one joyous Englishman,thanking God and jumping around like a general lunatic.
I never did go to church,but then we all know God is an Englishman and lets his fellow countrymen off.
Another game against Argentina.
What a fantastic friendly and what a great comeback.
And of course,before I let some other patriotic member of Stirpes gloat,heres the greatest game I have ever seen England play.
I get shivers down my spine every time I watch the highlights of this game.
Enjoy!----especially my Germanic cousins
