I’d like to tell you that I was just as bemused as the rest of the country by Victoria Beckham’s muted reaction to Jude Bellingham’s extra-time goal against Norway during England’s World Cup quarter-final match on Saturday. I can’t in good conscience say that, though. The truth is, I didn’t see her reaction (or lack thereof). I haven’t seen a single second of an England game this entire tournament.
I did see, after the fact, that much had been made of the former queen of WAG’s blank, bored expression in response to the winning goal, especially in contrast to husband and former England captain David, who leapt from his seat like an excitable golden retriever. I also saw, after the fact, that Posh’s responses during Wednesday’s semi-final garnered just as much negative attention.
