Football Curse of Mick Jagger
Brazil 2014 has been one to remember for a long, long time. So many unforeseen events have happened. Unfortunately these events, especially the losing part bits are categorically and serendipitously (for the winners) being blamed to a modern day living icon. LOL Arise Sir Mick. LOL
It seems Mick can’t get no Satisfaction even if he tries! But not as bitterly and heartbreakingly disappointed as the whole of Brazilian footballing peninsula, when their team failed to provide a semblance of satisfaction to the expectant crowd of the host nation of World Cup 2014. Their proverbial and iconic Brazilian team failed to Move Like Jagger hence completely and utterly trounced by Germany in an unprecedented 7-1 to Germany. Thus Mick is now being called Pe Frio, which literally means Cold Feet, meaning a jinx!

Apparently the jinx brought on by Sir Mick started a long way off before the World Cup 2014. Below is an except from an article from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10957013/World-Cup-2014-Brazil-fans-blame-curse-of-Mick-Jagger-for-their-7-1-defeat-to-Germany.html

Sir Mick’s bad luck began in South Africa in 2010, when he watched England being knocked out by Germany, then joined Bill Clinton to seeUSA being knocked out by Ghana. For good measure, he turned out in a Brazil shirt to see Brazil lose to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.
For most of the 2014 World Cup Sir Mick has been touring with the Rolling Stones, but cemented his reputation as a jinx by telling Portugal fans at a concert in Lisbon their team would win the tournament (they failed to progress beyond the group stage).
He then tweeted a good luck message to England before their group game against Italy (they lost 2-1) and before their game against Uruguay, saying: “Let’s go England – this is the one we win!” England suffered another 2-1 defeat.
At a concert in Rome he told Italy fans their team would beat Uruguay in their final group game, just hours before Uruguay won 1-0 to send Italy home.
Uruguay fans, wise to Sir Mick’s growing reputation as a bad luck charm, took a poster of him wearing an Italy kit to their match, which prompted the craze among Brazil fans for cut-outs of him wearing the colours of Colombia and Chile, both of whom were beaten by Brazil on their route to the semi-final.
Last month, as part of the Rolling Stones’ current world tour, they played gigs in Berlin and Dusseldorf. The good news for Germany fans as they look forward to the World Cup final is that there is no record of Sir Mick lending his support to die Mannschaft.

Apparently last night, Sir Mick affiliated his support to the Netherlands, who I have to admit gave a crackling performance against Argentina, who eventually won through the heart-rending but exciting penalty shoot-out.
What we all want to know now is which team is going to be chosen by Mick for the much anticipated world cup final? Would it be Germany? Would it be Argentina?
ha hahahahahaha
Football, the beautiful game, is not called beautiful for nothing!!!!
