JAKARTA - Former England national team coach rendah-Goran Eriksson recounted the moment when Victoria Beckham and the WAGS made the situation difficult for his team at the 2006 World Cup. The moment came as England fought Germany.

The situation was not easy for the Swedish man when the WAGS carried out flashy activities such as holding parties, getting drunk and making hotel bills swelled fantastically.

Eriksson told about the negative impact of the moment on his team. "One of them is Victoria Beckham and of course he makes things not easy because the press sees it from a fantastic side," he was quoted as saying by The Sun.

For Eriksson, the participation of his footballing companions may be understandable in each team, but for the Three Lion team it will all be in the spotlight. The reason is that in the WAGs line there is a Victorian name who is also a celebrity.

But in all other countries, Sweden for example. I know exactly what they (pers) do with their wives and so on. I don't think there's any Swedish newspaper ever talked about it because it's considered reasonable and I think most of them do it," Eriksson said.

In the UK the news got big and included a scandal, but I can't see from what side it was considered a scandal. We thought that they (wifes) might only come out once a week for dinner and I decide when they can do it."

In the rest of the day, of course they will be invited here and there and the FA will help them not just sit in the hotel and feel bored. I think it's a good thing," he continued.

At that time, Victoria, Cheryl, and Coleen Rooney were the most striking WAGs because they often became the originators of luxury activities. But over time, David Beckham's wife realized and admitted that she had done many things that were inappropriate during the tournament.

Even Victoria was the first to say when she recalled what am I doing?, 'what am I wearing?, why did I do that?' And I think he's overdo it' Eriksson said.

There is a lot of talk about WAGs compared to football itself. At that time for the players, they wanted to focus on the tournament rather than having to think about other things," he concluded.
