England got the win against Norway in the quarter final, but the performace was far from polished Jude Bellingham claimed Tuchel ‘doesn’t know what it’s like’ to play in big games, after the manager said they ‘got lucky’ The Three Lions are gearing up to face Lionel Messi and Argentina in Atlanta tonightTuchel said he had no issue with the 23-year-old’s response, and blamed the interviewer for presenting him only with the negative side of his analysis. He spoke to his squad at their Kansas City base on Sunday to clear up his words.David and Victoria were also there for the quarter-final in Miami on Saturday night – but the former Spice Girl’s reaction went viral for the wrong reasons.She was pictured showing almost no response to England’s success as her husband and son leapt into the air beside her.David later insisted she had been ‘celebrating on the inside’.While former England captain David and his kids went suitably wild when Jude Bellingham scored in first-half stoppage time, a pouting Victoria remained seated.Photos of a cheering David leaping up from his seat while his wife, who famously rarely smiles, stayed seated, have turned the Spice Girl into an instant meme, prompting David to jokingly defend his wife.The football legend commented on stand-up comedian Jenny Johnson’s summary of the match after she wrote: ‘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! It’s so infectious! It comes after David insisted his wife Victoria was ‘celebrating on the inside’ after her subdued reaction to England’s nail-biting World Cup quarter-final clash went viral The football legend commented on stand-up comedian Jenny Johnson’s summary of the match, who had sarcastically wrote that ‘Victoria blows [her] enthusiasm out of the water’ David’s loyalty was with Spain after having a four-season stint with Real Madrid in the early Noughties ‘I used to think I got animated while watching sports, but Victoria blows my enthusiasm out of the water! Each time I see her I shout, “SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!!” because her energy is electric!!!’Commenting with a string of crying laughing emojis, David wrote: ‘She was celebrating inside I promise her reactions were slightly slower than mine.’Victoria did warm up to the infectious energy inside Miami Stadium as she was later seen getting into the spirit by clapping along as England won the match 2-1.Victoria has been joining David at the games despite famously saying she wasn’t a fan of football when she met him at a Manchester United match in 1997.Ever the doting wife, Victoria ensured she attended every game she could, but confessed she didn’t enjoy the sport because she didn’t feel ‘wanted’ when she was pitch side.However, in recent years Victoria has had a change of heart after David retired and set up his own club Inter Miami.Victoria told the Financial Times in 2024: ‘I never enjoyed watching football. I never felt necessarily wanted [at the matches]. I’m not saying this as in, poor me, but it was never the fun that it is now.’Now, when we’re in Miami, I feel wanted. I’m friends with the families of the players.’
