Must read

Sports Mole challenges you to name the England team from their 2-2 World Cup qualifying draw against Greece in 2001 ahead of Thursday’s Nations League clash.

Crossing paths for the 10th time in their history, England and Greece do battle at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening in League B Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League.

The victor – if there is one – will open up a three-point lead at the summit of the section, after both made perfect starts to the 2024-25 competition with respective wins over Finland and the Republic of Ireland in September.

From their nine previous meetings – none of which England have lost – one certainly stands out above the rest, a 2002 World Cup qualifier at Old Trafford in October 2001, where Sven-Goran Eriksson‘s men were on the brink of defeat.

However, deep into second-half injury time, David Beckham bent it like only he could to rescue a 2-2 draw with a last-gasp free kick, one which sent England directly through to the World Cup as group winners over Germany on goal difference.

Here, Sports Mole challenges you to name the rest of that England team from that four-goal thriller at the Theatre of Dreams.
