What does the title “Bend It Like Beckham” mean? I know Beckham is the soccer guy, but what does it mean to “bend it” like him?
Make the ball curve in the air, up , down, left right, around people, etc. by kicking itwith a certain spin.
Beckham is a free kick specialist, known for being able to curve the ball behind the blocking wall and then bring it on target.
If you’ve seen the movie, the
game-winning free kick at the very end, where she kicks it and it flies around the opposing team/women of her family, that’s precisely what’s being described.
Aha! Thanks folks.
Oh, and do see the movie. It’s great.
