According to Sport, a new controversy surrounds the David Beckham family. The former Real Madrid player was seen in a VIP box at Hard Rock Stadium during the Round of 16 match between Argentina and Cape Verde in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Argentina ultimately won 3-2 under the leadership of Lionel Scaloni.

The Inter Miami owner was not the most talked-about person inside Hard Rock Stadium; the real scene-stealer was his son, Romeo Beckham, who watched the match with his girlfriend, Mia Regan.

Both wore Argentina jerseys to show their support for the team led by Lionel Messi.

This scene garnered attention in England, with media outlets such as the Daily Mail and The Sun focusing on the son of an English football legend supporting Argentina.

Many English people believe that this is not just an ordinary gesture but a provocation, as England and Argentina have a historical sporting rivalry, especially due to referee controversies in the FIFA World Cup. This antagonism intensified sharply after the 1982 Falklands War.

After the public uproar, Romeo has not explained why he chose to wear an Argentina jersey, while his father did not.

Furthermore, if England eliminates Mexico as expected and then defeats the winner of the match between Brazil and Norway, and if Argentina then defeats Egypt and the winner of Switzerland versus Colombia, the two teams could potentially meet in the semifinals.

This is one reason why photos of Romeo wearing an Argentina jersey have sparked so much discussion.
