David Beckham appeared bent out of shape last weekend.
The former English soccer star — who’s left-footed ability led to the phrase “bend it like Beckham” — clapped back at Minnesota United on social media.
After Minnesota’s 4-1 win over Miami at Allianz Field on Saturday, the Inter Miami co-owner did not think the Loons’ punny posts were very funny.
On Instagram, MNUFC called its brightly colored opponents a “Piny Phony Club” — a play off of Chappell Roan’s pop hit “Pink Pony Club.”
“Show a little respect @MNUFC,” Beckham commented on the post. “Be elegant in triumph.”
He wasn’t done.
Loons supporters in The Wonderwall made a huge banner jabbing at its perception of Inter Miami. It read: “History over hype. Culture over Cash” and unveiled it before kickoff.
Beckham responded to that Instagram post with: “Respect over everything” and a heart emoji.
Beckham, now 50, played for Manchester United and Real Madrid before a blockbuster MLS move to L.A. Galaxy in 2007, but his current club team has fallen off last year’s mark, when it won the Supporters Shied (best MLS regular-season record).
Minnesota’s comprehensive win over Miami and Lionel Messi was its second MLS defeat in three matches; the Herons allowed four goals in both losses. Miami also fell to Vancouver Whitecaps in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals two weeks ago.
