David Beckham appeared visibly tense as he settled into the stands on Saturday ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final clash with Norway.
The former footballer, 51, sat alongside his son Romeo as the pair joined an estimated 10,000 England supporters at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, just a day after watching Thomas Tuchel’s squad go through their final preparations in training.
Several members of the Beckham family were also in attendance, with David joined by wife Victoria, sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and daughter Harper, 15.
England headed into the fixture after beating Mexico last Sunday, with the Three Lions facing Norway in the second of the World Cup quarter-finals.
David cut a polished figure in a suit, while Romeo showed his support in a white England shirt and black beanie, with both appearing focused before the high-stakes match.
Victoria, meanwhile, brought her signature style to the occasion, wearing a flowing satin grey top paired with aviator sunglasses.
On Friday, England trained at Inter Miami’s facilities, the Major League Soccer club co-owned by Beckham.

The former England captain, who won 115 caps for his country – with 58 of those as skipper, enjoyed a chat with current successor Harry Kane before training.
‘He just wished us luck,’ Kane revealed. ‘After most games he messages me and we stay in touch. He was there to support us.
‘We were using the home that he’s built and we appreciated him hosting us. It was good to catch up with him. He’s an England legend. Hopefully we can do him proud tomorrow.’
When the session started, Beckham watched on from the sidelines alongside two of his sons Romeo and Cruz.
The Beckham clan had descended in Miami, with Harper celebrating turning 15 with an intimate family dinner later on Friday.
The teenager is in America alongside her parents David and Victoria, brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, and their girlfriends Kim Turnbull, 24, and Jackie Apostel, 30.
While the Beckhams took to social media throughout the day to mark the occasion, her estranged eldest brother Brooklyn, 27, remained silent.
The budding chef, who is thought to be at the Los Angeles home he shares with his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, decided to skip the milestone.
Victoria shared a poignant photo of Harper making ‘birthday wishes’ on Instagram as the teen blew out the candles on pink frosted cake.

While the Beckhams took to social media throughout the day to mark the occasion, her estranged eldest brother Brooklyn, 27, remained silent.
The teenager visited Brooklyn’s house in Beverly Hills alone after her father David received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star just five miles away. No one was home and she had to leave a letter instead.
Harper was photographed by American paparazzi, prompting Brooklyn to later accuse his parents of ‘setting up’ the picture opportunity, something they profusely deny.
Victoria also shared a selfie of Harper beaming in her pink striped pyjamas as she lay in bed with them.
She wrote: ‘Night night. So much fun celebrating you Harper. We love you so much!’
David, meanwhile, shared a throwback snap from a party at their Cotswolds farmhouse and wrote: ‘My pretty lady, Happy Birthday. Night night, Daddy loves you.’
Earlier in the day, Victoria risked angering her eldest son by including a sweet photo of Harper as a toddler with her estranged brother in her photo tribute.
‘I cannot even begin to express how much I love and adore you and how incredibly proud I am to be your mummy – it has been the greatest joy to see you blossom into a young lady,’ she wrote alongside the photos.
‘You are a kind, gentle, funny and beautiful soul inside and out! You are my best friend and you inspire me every day!! I love you more than I could ever put into words and I am so grateful to be your mummy! Happy Birthday.’
