England fans have accused Mick Jagger of cursing the national team by attending their semi-final match against Croatia on Wednesday, as the star is believed to bring bad luck to those he supports in World Cup tournaments.
The match saw England bow out of this year's World Cup, after a 2-1 loss to Croatia in extra time.
The Rolling Stone has an unfortunate history of watching the teams he supports crash out of the international competition, and now it's believed that he seals the fate of any team he cheers on at the World Cup.
The rocker's rumoured curse began at the South African World Cup in 2010 where Jagger threw his support behind the USA, watching the match from the stands with former US president, Bill Clinton. The team subsequently lost the match 2-1 to Ghana which meant that they were knocked out of the tournament.
At the following World Cup in Brazil in 2014, the Rolling Stones' frontman supported the competition's hosts in their semi-final match against Germany, only to see them face a humiliating 7-1 defeat.

Given his reputation for supporting losing teams, it was no wonder that England fans were worried when they spotted Jagger enjoying Belgium's semi-final match against France in St Petersberg on Tuesday.
Eagle-eyed Twitter users believed Jagger was supporting the Belgium team due to his sombre expression for much of the game, which they lost 1-0 to France.
Jagger posted on Twitter on Wednesday with a video from the Moscow stadium where the games were being held captioned, "C'mon England".
The national team of his home country then lost 2-1 to Croatia in extra time, proving that you can't always get what you want.
