Victoria Beckham's nonchalant demeanor in the family executive box at a World Cup match in Miami has become the stuff of memes, with comedian Jenny Johnson joking that her "energy is electric". The former Spice Girl's calm reaction to England's victory over Norway has been poked fun at by fans and pundits alike.
The Beckhams turned out in force for England games this summer, with Sir David Beckham seen punching the air with delight as Jude Bellingham scored. However, his wife's more subdued reaction has been the subject of much attention, with some even accusing her of being asleep.
The viral moment has been one of many memorable ones from the 2022 World Cup, which has played out in pubs, fan parks, and living rooms across the UK. England's fans have been a highlight of the tournament, with their enthusiasm and support for the team evident in every match.

Meanwhile, Scotland's travelling supporters, known as the Tartan Army, have left a lasting impression on their travels to Boston. Led by bagpipers, they marched through Fenway Park, taking over the stadium with their infectious energy. The fans even sang Scottish football anthems, including "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" and "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)".
The Tartan Army's trip to Miami looked not half bad either, with US baseball players hailing the atmosphere they created as among the best they have experienced outside the World Series. The fans even ingratiated themselves to the locals so much that the Mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, now plans to formalise an international partnership between the city and Glasgow.
