The English national football team's moment of greatest triumph was in 1966 when the side led by Bobby Moore under the managership of Alf Ramsey[?] won the World Cup. In the final, England beat the German national football[?] team by 4 goals to 2, with 3 goals from Geoff Hurst and one from Martin Peters[?].
In 2001, Sven Goran Eriksson[?] became the first foreign[?] national to become the manager of England. They qualified for the Football World Cup 2002 (held in Japan and Korea) in a tense finale on the 6th October 2001, with the final goal which gave them the much-needed draw against Greece coming from David Beckham in the dying seconds of the game. This result ensured automatic qualification above Germany on goal difference. In the World Cup itself, England reached the quarter-finals before being beaten by eventual tournament winners Brazil 2-1. The first national manager, Walter Winterbottom, died in February 2002. England is a member of UEFA.
