David Beckham treated us to one of the best goals in his collection 26 years ago. And what better stage to deliver it than in a World Cup, specifically the 1998 edition in France.

The match was England vs Colombia in the group stage of the World Cup. The English team was leading 1-0 after a goal from Darren Anderton in the 20th minute. However, nine minutes later, a foul was called in favor of the reigning world champions from 1966.

The free-kick taker was none other than Beckham. The set-piece specialist executed his free kick from over 30 meters away perfectly, leaving the Colombian goalkeeper with no chance to save, making it 2-0 for his team.

After scoring one of the most exquisite goals ever seen in a World Cup, Beckham ran to ask for Carlos "Pibe" Valderrama's shirt, one of the greatest figures in Colombian football.
