Find out where Mick Jagger is at England's World Cup debut

The name of singer Mick Jagger, 82, who has been known since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa for his "cold feet", always comes up when England is on the field. Despite his passion for football, the Rolling Stones star always sees the defeat of the teams he supports when he is at the stadium. Given his reputation as unlucky, fans wondered where he would be in the English team's debut on Wednesday afternoon (17), against Croatia.

At the last World Cup, in Qatar, the English highlighted the relationship between Jagger's absence and the English team's first victory in the tournament, in a 6-2 defeat against Iran. Since then, the list of teams "cursed" by the artist's fans has only increased: Argentina, Portugal and Brazil are among Jagger's favorite teams.

One of his most emblematic appearances was the semi-final between Brazil and Germany. Alongside his son Lucas Jagger, 26, the singer's son with presenter Luciana Gimenez, he witnessed the Brazilian team being beaten 7-1 by the visitors. "I may be responsible for the first German goal, but not for the other six", joked Mick Jagger in an interview with The Sun at the time.

Despite speculation, this Wednesday (17), the singer was seen at the 10th edition of the charity gala, organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. In formal clothes, the artist is far from being "in character" to watch a football match.
