Victoria Beckham has share her true feelings after she became a meme once again.

Posh Spice went viral for her trademark straight-faced expression, in sharp contrast against her husband David's jubilant reaction when England scored while watching the World Cup.

A comedian, Jenny Johnson shared a picture of Victoria's stony features, and captioned it: "I wanted to take a moment to single out England’s number one fan Victoria, Lady Beckham!!!!" "There’s nothing like cheering your heart out for England from home, then they cut to Victoria, and we see that classic Posh Spice smile!" she added.

"It’s so infectious! I used to think I got animated while watching sports, but Victoria blows my enthusiasm out of the water! Each time I see her I shout, 'SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!!' because her energy is electric!!! See for yourself!" the comic finished.

David responded to the barbed remarks: "She was celebrating inside I promise [laughing emoji]. Her reactions were slightly slower than mine," he replied.

Now Victoria has shared an update since the dust has settled.

She shared a snap with David, and wrote "I have loved our football tour! I love you," before tagging her husband.

The loved-up couple had been seen at several matches, alongside their children Harper, 15, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21.

There was no sign of Brooklyn, 27, after he has been recently estranged from the family.

The meme moment came during England's match against Norway in Miami.

David and their children showed off a jubilant celebration when Jude Bellingham scored, leaping up and punching the air with delight.

A much more muted Posh was seen remaining seated with a hint of a smile.

Following the criticism, she put on a much more animated display during the match against Argentina.

After England's heartbreaking last-minute defeat, she was seen with her head in her hands alongside her husband, before consoling David, who looked close to tears.

Fans had been defending the icon online in the wake of the viral moments: "Well she didn't earn the name Posh Spice just to start screaming and jumping around like a football hooligan," one wrote.

"She is called Posh. She's living up to her name," insisted another, while one fan praised her authenticity: "Love her even more for this. She is who she is."

Someone else agreed: "Can’t blame her, she probably still hates the fans from when they chanted about her."

Either way, judging by her latest photo, Victoria had a lovely time even if she is more subtle about it.
