David Beckham was seen singing Wonderwall arm-in-arm with his son Romeo after England's 2-1 quarter-final victory over Norway on Saturday, July 10, 2026. The Beckham family turned out in force at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to support the Three Lions, but eldest son Brooklyn was notably absent, signaling a continued rift with his famous parents.
Brooklyn Absent from Family Celebrations
According to photos obtained by Page Six, Brooklyn also skipped his sister Harper's 15th birthday party on Friday in West Palm Beach, Florida. Harper celebrated with parents David and Victoria, brothers Romeo and Cruz, and their respective girlfriends, Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel. Despite both Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckhams residing in the US, the match was not a moment for family reunion.
Beckham's Enthusiastic Anthem Singing
When the final whistle blew, jubilant fans erupted into song, chanting the anthem that has become the soundtrack of the 2026 tournament. David threw an arm around Romeo as they belted out the Oasis classic alongside thousands of England supporters. Earlier, stadium cameras captured Beckham passionately singing "God Save the King" beside Victoria, a stark contrast to his dramatic reaction to a Harry Kane miss against Ghana days earlier.
Beckham's attendance followed his hosting of England's squad at his Inter Miami training ground in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, opening the Florida Blue Training Center before the quarter-final. He chatted individually with players, including captain Harry Kane.
Social Media Reaction
Footage of Beckham singing spread across X, with one user quipping that the TV director cut to him during the anthem "because we all know that's the king we're really singing about," reported the Mirror US. Others noted the unusual sight of Victoria at a match, with one fan posting, "You know it's serious for David Beckham tonight if he managed to convince Victoria to watch a match." Another described them as "a true power couple showing respect during the national anthem."
Kane Praises Beckham's Support
Harry Kane described Beckham's visit as a significant morale lift. "He just wished us luck. After most games, he messages me and we stay in touch," Kane said. "He's obviously a big England fan. We know how much it meant for him to play for England and be captain. He was there to support us." Kane added, "We were obviously using his home, the home he's built, so we appreciate him doing that for us. Ultimately, it was good to catch up with him and for the other lads to have a chat with him. He is an English legend, he was wishing us well and hopefully we can do him proud tomorrow."
Beckham's World Cup Involvement
Beckham, who earned 115 caps for England and captained the national team for six years, has made appearances throughout the World Cup, tracking England's progress closely as Thomas Tuchel's squad reached a third consecutive quarter-final. England will face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals, with France and Spain on the other side of the draw.
