Mick Jagger caused Brazil's elimination
Quote:
Jagger has been dubbed "The Angel Of Doom" by upset Brazilians, while TV station R7 called him “the biggest jinx in history” following the 7-1 thrashing (...)
The run of bad luck began at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, when Jagger watched England’s 4-1 second round defeat by Germany. He went with Bill Clinton to see the USA lose 2-1 to Ghana in the same round, before wearing a Brazil shirt during their 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in the quarter-final.
At the current World Cup, Jagger tweeted the England team a good luck message before they lost 2-1 to Italy, then announced during a Rolling Stones gig in Lisbon that Portugal would win the tournament. Portugal failed to reach the second round, as did Italy after Jagger said at a Stones show in Rome that Italy would win their vital group game against Uruguay. Italy lost 1-0.
Although Jagger wore a neutral’s England baseball cap during the semi-final, his 15-year-old son Lucas is Brazilian. Fans had carried a cut-out of Jagger in a Germany kit with a speech bubble saying “Let’s go, Germany!” outside the stadium.
Lucas’ mother, Brazilian model Luciana Giminez, defended Jagger, saying: “He’s suffering cyber-bullying, and I’d ask people to think before doing it.''
