- Soccer fans noted Mick Jagger's presence at the Norway vs. England World Cup quarter-final match, recalling his "curse" superstition.
- Mexican singer Thalía and the Beckham couple, David and Victoria, were also spotted in the stands.
- Jagger's support has historically been linked to team eliminations, though England held a lead during the match.
Mick Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones, was seen looking nervous from the early minutes of the World Cup 2026 quarter-final match between Norway and England at Miami Stadium on July 11.
His appearance immediately brought to mind a well-known soccer superstition: the "Mick Jagger curse." For years, some fans have claimed that teams he publicly supports or watches live often end up losing. Social media quickly buzzed with reminders of this alleged jinx, which reportedly began during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when England and Brazil, teams he backed, were eliminated.
However, the superstition seemed to falter in this instance, as England maintained a 2-1 lead as the match neared its conclusion. The presence of other celebrities also added to the star-studded event. Mexican singer Thalía was spotted in a VIP box wearing a shirt that read "Mexico," though she clarified her support was for Norway and its star player, Erling Haaland. She even shared a video dancing to a corrido dedicated to the Norwegian striker.
David and Victoria Beckham also attended the game. The former Spice Girl opted for a discreet beige ensemble, accessorized with matching glasses and her signature wavy hairstyle. The match itself was a high-profile affair, drawing attention not only for its sporting stakes but also for the celebrity attendees.
