That was probably worth a couple million U.S. right there. Don't think I've ever seen a shot like that on U.S. soil. I know just enough about soccer to know the technical ability of that shot was about 9.5 out 10. I'm impressed. He fooled everyone ... no bend, which is probably why the goalie and his wall were scratching their heads.

Yeah, that looks confusing. It wasn't the Beckham Bend.

I thought I saw a bend too. It was like a slow arc, moving high right to low left.

This is really what Beckham is about these days.
He's slow in the field.....too slow.
But he can win games with those free kicks and corner kicks that ask questions of the defence.
