David Beckham is defending his wife’s right to look totally uninterested in soccer. On Saturday, the impeccably posh Victoria Beckham joined her husband (and very famous former England captain) plus three of their kids — Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — in a box at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium to watch England take on Norway as part of the ongoing World Cup. When England scored its winning goal in extra time, launching the team to the semifinals, everyone around Victoria, including David, jumped around, shrieked, and celebrated with wild enthusiasm. Victoria, meanwhile, didn’t even crack a smile. Sunglasses on and looking unbothered as ever, she simply reached for her phone, took a photo, and moved on with her life.
