David Beckham net worth drew attention at the England v Argentina World Cup semi-final in Atlanta, where he watched with Victoria, Romeo, Harper, Cruz and Jackie Apostel. The appearance put one of England’s most recognisable figures in the middle of a crowd already packed with supporters and celebrity faces.
Thousands of Three Lions fans descended on Atlanta for Wednesday’s semi-final, and the winner was set to meet Spain in the World Cup final on 19 July at 8pm BST. For England supporters, that meant a high-pressure night in Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the route to the final settled in one game.
Beckham in Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Beckham was seen inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium as England played Argentina, with Victoria beside him and Romeo, Harper, Cruz and Jackie Apostel also present. The sighting mattered because the crowd was not just a standard away following; it included a cluster of familiar names around a knockout match with final-stage stakes.
Gianni Infantino was seen sitting with Debbie Hewitt, adding to the official presence in Atlanta. Mick Jagger, Louis Tomlinson and Tauheed Epps were also spotted in the crowd, showing how much attention the match drew beyond the pitch and into the stands.
England support in Atlanta
Millie Bobby Brown posted photos before kick-off, including a selfie in an England top and another from inside the stadium. Joe Cole also posted a photo and video from inside the stadium to his Instagram Stories, while Kemp posted a video with the caption “Go England”.
Kemp also appeared shirtless in a garden holding an England jersey before kissing it three times, then shouted “Come on England!” in another video. Alan Carr posted a photo from a pub wearing an England T-shirt with his face painted with the St George’s Cross, while pubs were expecting to sell six million extra pints on Wednesday.
Lionel Messi and the final
Lionel Messi’s presence added a layer of apprehension for England fans who were still optimistic about the result. That mix of hope and caution was part of the atmosphere around the semi-final: a crowd willing England on, but fully aware of the opponent in front of them.
If England advanced, the reward was already set: Spain in the World Cup final on 19 July at 8pm BST. The Beckham sighting, the celebrity crowd and the size of the support in Atlanta all pointed to the same thing — this was the kind of night where one match carried the whole bracket.
