Victoria Beckham Misses Mel C Wedding for World Cup

Victoria Beckham has said she 'loved' her 'football tour' with husband David at the World Cup, despite being mocked for her refusal to celebrate a crucial England goal. The former Spice Girl attended several matches, including the quarter-final against Norway, where Jude Bellingham's strike sealed England's semi-final place.

Victoria went viral for her statuesque reaction as her family celebrated wildly around her. She remained seated, looking in the opposite direction, while David and their sons Cruz and Romeo erupted. Despite the online mockery, she shared a sweet Instagram story of her and David at the match, writing: 'I have loved our football tour! I love you @davidbeckham.'

David Beckham Defends Wife's Reaction

David defended Victoria after American comedian Jenny Johnson posted sarcastic remarks about her lack of emotion. Johnson wrote: 'I wanted to take a moment to single out @england’s number one fan Victoria, Lady Beckham!!!! There’s nothing like cheering your heart out for England from home, then they cut to Victoria, and we see that classic Posh Spice smile!'

David responded: 'She was celebrating inside I promise. Her reactions were slightly slower than mine.' He also shared a family photo after the match, captioned: 'What a moment in Miami, I'm so proud of the team tonight reaching the Semi final of the World Cup and to celebrate with my family was so special... Thank you @england for giving our country these moments.'
