BERLIN: Victoria Beckham, wife of England skipper David, and Elen Rives, girlfriend of Frank Lampard, endured travel travails ahead of England's opening win over Paraguay, it emerged on Sunday.
Former Spice Girl Victoria was unable to get her flight from Madrid to watch Beckham play in Frankfurt as the plane had a technical problem so she chartered a private jet at a reported cost of 30,000 euros to get over in time.
Having made it finally to the match she watched clad all in white with Saint George crosses on her jeans pockets and top.
Beckham's sons Brooklyn and Romeo also attended the game wearing England number seven shirts replete with their father's name on them.
Rives was kicked off her flight to Stuttgart from Heathrow after reacting furiously when told she had too much luggage, German media reports said.
An apology meant she was able to get on the next available flight.
