How’s this for a battle of the Brits?!
Host Piers Morgan is clearly not a fan of David Beckham├óΓé¼Γäós soccer skillz… and he doesn├óΓé¼Γäót seem to fancy One Direction, either!
It all started when Piers poked fun at Beckham, in response to a tweet that 1D’s Harry Styles sent out, defending the player!
Piers retorted and retweeted:
Is that because he always runs in one direction? > RT @harry_styles: @benwinston @piersmorgan Beckham is my hero. Winston is second in line.

Ooh!! Harsh, but all in good fun, right?
Not so much! Sounds like the boys took it to heart, with Louis Tomlinson sticking up for Beckham and backing up Harry!
Louis tweeted and then Piers responded:
Well sign him up for the group – bet he sings better than he plays now > RT @louis_tomlinson: @benwinston @piersmorgan I LOVE David Beckham!

The Twitter feud continued, with Piers taking another dig at the boys, tweeting:
Can’t believe I’m currently being sledged about Beckham by TWO members of One Direction. Boy-band types clearly stick together.

Harry then beckoned Simon Cowell for back-up, writing:
Hiiii @simoncowell can you tell @piersmorgan to leave us alone please? He’s being nasty..
— Harry Styles (@Harry_Styles) November 20, 2012
Whereas fellow 1D groupmate, Liam Payne, decided to take to Twitter to trend #PiersMorganIsSmelly, which ended up trending worldwide! LOLz!
Niall Horan also joined in, asking:
I listen to music by The Wanted > RT @niallofficial @piersmorgan do u just live on twitter! What else do you do in the day?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 20, 2012
Ohhhh shiz! Them’s is some fightin’ words! Ha!
Guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens if the boys ever take Piers up on his invite to meet up with him in NYC!!!
