David Beckham Devastated as England Lose World Cup Semi-Final to Argentina
David Beckham Devastated as England Lose World Cup Semi-Final

David Beckham was consoled by wife Victoria as England were once again knocked out of a World Cup by Argentina. Thomas Tuchel's side saw their lead turned over in Atlanta as the South American side came from one down to win the game. They will now face Spain in Sunday's final.

Beckham's Reaction

Former England captain Beckham looked bereft at the full time whistle, leaving Posh Spice to console him in the stands. And as Becks fought back the tears, his son Cruz, 21, was also seen trying to comfort him with a hug.

The family had been enjoying the occasion as England appeared like they would be heading for the World Cup final after Anthony Gordon's strike. But two quick goals from Argentina shattered the hopes of the Beckhams and the nation.

England's Semi-Final History

It was the fourth time England had reached the World Cup semi-final. The first came in 1966, then in 1990 and 2014, and finally this year.

Match Details

New Barcelona man Anthony Gordon put the Three Lions in the lead, but Enzo Fernández pulled one back for Argentina. Lautaro Martínez sealed a 2-1 victory over England, breaking hearts as they were dumped out, leaving Argentina to take on Spain in Sunday's final.

Victoria Beckham's Reaction

Victoria has been a regular in the stands for the tournament. She came under fire after her nonchalant response to the victory over Norway, which went viral. The seemingly unimpressed WAG appeared to refuse to move from her seat despite all the drama in Miami on the night.

She took a light-hearted hammering online for her lack of emotion to the winning moment as she was pictured looking hardly bothered at all as her boys lost it at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Eagle-eyed David spotted the comments online and tried to stick up for his wife. He said: "She was celebrating inside I promise," he wrote with a laughing emoji. "Her reactions were slightly slower than mine."

Family Photo

Posh did smile for a family photo after the occasion. David captioned the Instagram upload: "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."

Brooklyn Beckham's Distance

While Cruz and Romeo have regularly been by their parents' side, Brooklyn continues to keep his distance. He made it clear he wants nothing to do with them following their feud and has remained silent.

He even poked fun at the drama in an advert stateside. During the clip, Brooklyn smirks at the camera and says: "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story." He then threw some tickets onto the coffee table next to him, as a cryptic message flashes on screen reading: "It's complicated. More soon."
