David Beckham has responded light-heartedly after his wife, Victoria Beckham, became the subject of widespread social media attention during England's World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway in Miami.

Television cameras captured the moment Jude Bellingham scored in first-half stoppage time, with David and the couple's children Romeo, Cruz and Harper celebrating enthusiastically while Victoria remained seated with her trademark composed expression.The contrast quickly inspired memes and jokes online, with many fans affectionately referring to her as the 'iconic Posh'.

David joined in the humour by replying to comedian Jenny Johnson's social media post, joking that Victoria had been 'celebrating on the inside' and that her reactions were simply 'slightly slower' than his.Later in the match, Victoria was seen applauding as England secured a 2-1 victory and progressed to the World Cup semi-finals.

Victoria has previously spoken openly about her relationship with football, explaining that she did not particularly enjoy attending matches during David's playing career because she never felt fully comfortable or welcomed in that environment.

She has said that her attitude changed after David retired and became involved with Inter Miami, where she developed friendships with players' families and found the experience far more enjoyable.The family celebrated England's victory together in Miami, with David and Victoria sharing photographs from the occasion on social media.

Noticeably absent, however, was their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, who watched the match remotely from New York alongside his wife Nicola Peltz amid continuing reports of a strained relationship with the wider Beckham family.
