Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, 82, watched England secure a place in the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 victory over Norway in Miami. The rock icon was joined by three of his sons: James, 40, Lucas, 27, and Deveraux, nine, for the match played in sweltering conditions with temperatures reaching 33C (91.4F).
Sir Mick, dressed in a striped shirt and white cap, was seen wiping his brow and celebrating with his sons as the full-time whistle blew. The group shared a hug after England's win.
However, Jagger's presence has historically been associated with a superstitious "Jagger Jinx," where teams he publicly supports often face unexpected eliminations in tournaments. This jinx has been noted in previous World Cups. In 2010, several teams he backed, including England, the U.S., and Brazil, were knocked out. The phenomenon continued in 2014 when he witnessed Brazil's 7-1 defeat to Germany, and again in 2018 when England lost to Croatia in the semi-finals.
Despite the lingering superstition, England managed to hold on for the victory, advancing to the semi-finals and moving a step closer to ending a 60-year drought without a major tournament win.
