David Beckham's Adidas Predator match issued boots. This special
made to
measure boots are personalized with "DB","V",
"23", "ROMEO",
"BROOKLYN",
"CRUZ" a flag
of
England and USA. Beckham has
captained England 59 times, one
of the
most in England's history. With
his free kick goal against Ecuador in the
second round of the 2006 FIFA
World Cup, Beckham gained membership into
two
of football's exclusive
clubs: he became the only English player - and the
21st
player
regardless of nationality - to score in three world cups; Real
Madrid
teammate Raúl also achieved this feat a few days earlier. It also
made
him only
the fifth player in World Cup history to score twice from a
direct free kick; the
other four were Pelé, Roberto Rivelino, Teófilo
Cubillas,
and Bernard Genghini
(Beckham had previously scored this
way
against
Colombia in the first round of
the 1998 FIFA World Cup).
All
three goals were
against South American teams
(Colombia,
Argentina, and
Ecuador) and from
set pieces (the two aforementioned
free kicks and a
penalty against
Argentina).
