Mick Jagger appears at England vs. Norway match, igniting social media

Mick Jagger's appearance at the England vs. Norway quarter-final match in Miami ignited a flurry of social media activity, fueled by a persistent football superstition. The Rolling Stones frontman's presence in the stands became a focal point, with many users referencing the widely held belief that teams he publicly backs or attends ultimately lose.

This 'mufa,' or bad luck, myth reportedly originated during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It gained traction as several national teams, including England, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina, which Jagger had supported, were eliminated from the tournament. Consequently, fans often jokingly implore Jagger on social media not to support England during major tournaments.

Despite the superstition's widespread recognition, Jagger has often treated the matter with humor. He has previously responded on social media, playfully denying responsibility for any team's defeats. In this instance, he appeared unfazed by the 'mufa' and chose to personally attend and support the English team in Miami, leading to a fresh wave of online commentary and memes.
