Over the past few weeks, glancing at the tabloids might leave one thinking that England's World Cup effort was more about the WAGs' extravagant antics than the 11 athletes on the field. These glamorous figures, clad in designer outfits and indulging in lavish lifestyles, consistently draw media attention.
The relationship between the WAGs and the tabloids is symbiotic yet tumultuous. Figures like Victoria Beckham and Coleen McLoughlin enjoy a love-hate dynamic with the press; their luxurious lifestyles, funded by their partners’ enormous salaries, make for perfect tabloid content. Unsurprisingly, the WAGs and journalists ended up in the same hotel during the World Cup, creating a media spectacle. For weeks, Baden-Baden was the scene of this headline-friendly drama, with the WAGs offering tantalizing photo opportunities and faux scandals.
Tabloid journalists thrive on risk, often biting the hands that feed them. This summer's coverage involved its fair share of drama and intensity. When tabloids target a subject, they often choose vulnerable individuals. Abigail Clancy, then-girlfriend of Peter Crouch, became such a target, criticized for revealing personal relationship issues just before a crucial game. Despite concerns this might have affected Crouch’s performance, he shone by scoring the opening goal against Trinidad and Tobago. The irony? Until that moment, Crouch’s place in the squad was in question. Were it not for his success, the entire affair might have been ignored. But when have tabloids ever prioritized logic?
Now that England has returned in defeat, the tabloid scrutiny continues. Instead of targeting former manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who is unfazed as he returns to Sweden, the press seeks other scapegoats. With the English team built up by the media, it seems the blame may fall on the well-heeled WAGs. Yet, considering their luxurious lives and media presence, is shouldering a little blame too much to expect?
