The curse is over! Mick Jagger watches England beat Denmark at Euro 2020

He has been accused of putting a ‘curse’ on the England team – with the Three Lions losing every single match he’s ever attended in person since 2010.   

Yet Sir Mick Jagger, 77, finally broke his losing streak on Wednesday night as he watched England triumph over Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final. 

The Rolling Stones singer was spotted donning a baseball cap and puffer jacket as he arrived at Wembley Stadium’s VIP entrance for the game on Wednesday.

Trying to maintain a low profile, Sir Mick opted for a low-key ensemble, keeping colours to a minimum.

He wore a black baseball cap and a dark navy puffer jacket, and had a black face mask on as he arrived at the stadium.

The music legend also wore black denim jeans and black and white trainers as he made his way to his seat. 

Sir Mick was treated to a 2-1 England win as Gareth Southgate’s side secured their spot in Sunday’s Euro 2020 final against Italy.

The Three Lions fell a goal behind after a stunning free-kick by Denmark found its way past Jordan Pickford.

But England rallied and soon equalised through an own goal before Harry Kane secured the win during extra-time, slotting home the rebound after his penalty was saved. 

The win has seen England secure their spot in the final of an international competition for the first time in 55 years. 

It also heralds the end of Mick Jagger’s unfortunate curse when it comes to football.

Dating back to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Mick supported three teams, England, the USA and Brazil.

He ended up watching the USA lose to Ghana, Brazil lose to Netherlands and England lose to Germany.

The rumours of a ‘Mick Jagger curse’ returned during the 2014 World Cup and even doubled in intensity as his track record appeared to worsen.

Halfway through the tournament Mick was busy touring with the Rolling Stones but predicted that Italy would beat Uruguay and progress to the knockout stages; that Portugal would win the Cup; and tweeted that England should beat Uruguay.

And it was a case of, ‘You can’t always get what you want’ as Italy lost to Uruguay, Portugal didn’t make it out of the Group stages and England lost to Uruguay as well.

The legend of his curse even led to the Brazilians coining a nickname for Jagger: Pe Frio, which translates literally as ‘cold foot’, but means someone who brings bad luck with him.

It didn’t help that Pe Frio was supporting Brazil, along with his Brazilian son Lucas, at the game where they were humiliated 7-1 on their own home turf by the Germans.

The curse story got so out of control that Jagger was forced to defend himself, saying on social media: ‘I can take responsibility for the first German goal but not the other six!’

During the 2018 World Cup, Mick saw Brazil’s lukewarm draw with Switzerland.

And then, as England crashed out of the same World Cup in a loss against Croatia in the semi-finals, fans jokingly blamed Sir Mick for jinxing the Three Lions with his presence. 

While Mick has always denied being a curse to the teams he supports, fans of the squads will no doubt be pleased that whatever influence he appeared to have on the teams has now be quashed.
