Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has been the target of angry World Cup fans who have called him a "jinx" because they think every time Jagger shows support for a World Cup team, that team loses. According to Time magazine, the backlash against Jagger intensified on July 8, 2014, when Brazil was eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Germany in a 7-1 match held in Rio de Janeiro. Jagger was at the game with his son Lucas, whose mother is Jagger's ex-lover Luciana Gimenez Morad, a Brazilian former model. Lucas was born in 1999, the year that Jerry Hall (the mother of four of Jagger's children) ended her 22-year relationship with Jagger when news of Gimenez Morad's pregnancy went public.
World Cup fans began theorizing about a so-called "Mick Jagger jinx" in May 2014, when on May 29, Jagger said during the Rolling Stones' Rock in Rio concert in Lisbon that Portugal would win the World Cup. But by the end of the month, Portgual was knocked out of the World Cup after a series of defeats.
