Victoria Beckham became a meme at the World Cup.


Victoria Beckham was in attendance alongside her husband, David, for England’s World Cup matchup vs. Norway. She was unbothered watching the team advance to the semifinals.

Cameras panned to her suite after a Jude Bellingham goal in the first half. Her response couldn’t have been less enthusiastic.

She is clearly not as invested as others supporting the English squad, including her spouse.

Victoria Beckham unbothered at World Cup.

Things got off to a rocky start for England in its Round of 8 matchup with Norway. The Norwegians struck first with a goal in the 36th minute. Jude Bellingham provided a response just before the halftime intermission.

The equalizer evened the score. David Beckham was stoked. Bellingham would later provide the go-ahead goal in the second half of a 2-1 win.

Victoria Beckham was couldn’t have cared less.

Social media’s response to the reaction was A+.

Many sarcastically joked about her emotional ties to the team, or lack thereof. Others quipped about her mind being someplace else completely.

This fan said that this was, indeed, Beckham’s excited face.

Some joked that she was simply waiting for the VAR confirmation on the goal. Nothing is ever a guarantee!

My personal favorite referenced David Beckham’s hypothetically similar boredom to being forced to sit through a Spice Girls concert.

There were some critical of the reaction. “That seat really should’ve gone to someone who cared about the game,” one user wrote. The majority of the response, though, was lighthearted.

The screenshot was taken a bit out of context. She was later seen smiling though the action didn’t move her to leave her seat. Victoria Beckham became a meme at the World Cup. The internet did its thing in the moments that followed.
