This is David Beckham's signature curved free kick

David Beckham sends one into the back of the net, curling it up and over the wall to give the LA Galaxy a 2-1 lead over the Portland Timbers in the 24th minute of their match on July 14, 2012.

David will forever go down as one of the best that there ever was in the game, great free kick.

A legend in free kicks. It proven already.

Anyone else just get this randomly recommended for u 8 years later

'On the goal-keeper side' it's called far post narb

[paulxtreme]

and his long range shots and crosses are amazing

[AMChirinos]

Doesn't matter what league it is... it's still a beautiful free kick.

"Bend it like Beckham!" What you see here, folks (and most Brits will know this already) is the amazing kick for which Beckham became know in the English football league. It is pure genius because it takes a very complicated calculation (automated in HIS mind, no doubt!) to do that with such accuracy.

Im not a huge soccer fan but i love seeing someone be great at a sport. That kick was amazing

[xaglez_aep]

Who is here after messi's freekick on his debut match in mls 🙋

[MrGooorgeous]

You guys are lucky to have him over there....a consistently quality on both sides could have done that.

[devinsux]

I'm by no means a soccer fan, but it takes talent to do what that guy did haha. Impressive kick

It actually took me to curve the ball on both my feet, 4 freaking months. Non stop training like mad man doing it alone. I did it too
It pays to train hard people.

His other goal this game was sick... Still a nice goal... I'm so happy they made the come back to win 5-3

beckham freekicks are way more effective then cr7's freekicks. beckham actually knows where he wants to put it and almost never misses. cr7 on the other hand just uses his power shot and takes like 5 freekicks per game just to score twice a year. Becks is a legend.

Holly shit!
I can't believe this vid has more than two million views.
Riquelme does goals like these every weekend.

[bagurzz]

Yeah, American football (sorry, soccer! I'm English) is on the rise, it's attracting big names and producing future stars. Keep an eye out, MLS is huge.

[barfy]

I just realized how absurd it is that players line up hoping a soccer ball traveling 80mph hits them in the head.

[classicgame]

There is no one on Beckham’s level of curved free kick, legend!

[mranthonymcneil]

That curve action was just plain sick.

[danwoodstra]

Perhaps not an indicator of quality, but entertainment value, oftentimes, yes.
