He also witnessed the 2010 World Cup, when England were defeated 4-1 by Germany. However, he broke the curse this year watching England beat Norway 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>The musician previously laughed off claims of a curse when addressing Brazil\u2019s brutal 2014 defeat. In a statement issued to\u00a0<em>NME<\/em>, he said: \u201cOK, I take responsibility for the first German goal\u2026 but not the other 6!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jagger has told <em>NME\u00a0<\/em>he is already writing the Rolling Stones\u2019 new album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it could be a trio [of records],\u201d he said, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve already started writing songs anyway. They could be for other people though. When you write a song, you sometimes decide \u2018that\u2019s not for me, but it could be for the Chili Peppers\u2019 or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of stuff, and not all of it\u2019s suitable for The Rolling Stones,\u201d he continued to say. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t stop me writing them, you know. If you get an idea, just write it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, System Of A Down\u2019s Daron Malakian has blamed Oasis for England\u2019s World Cup loss, while Liam Gallagher has weighed in on England\u2019s World Cup result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_single_tags tdi_87 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_87\">\n<div

He also witnessed the 2010 World Cup, when England were defeated 4-1 by Germany. However, he broke the curse this year watching England beat Norway 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>The musician previously laughed off claims of a curse when addressing Brazil\u2019s brutal 2014 defeat. In a statement issued to\u00a0<em>NME<\/em>, he said: \u201cOK, I take responsibility for the first German goal\u2026 but not the other 6!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jagger has told <em>NME\u00a0<\/em>he is already writing the Rolling Stones\u2019 new album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it could be a trio [of records],\u201d he said, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve already started writing songs anyway. They could be for other people though. When you write a song, you sometimes decide \u2018that\u2019s not for me, but it could be for the Chili Peppers\u2019 or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of stuff, and not all of it\u2019s suitable for The Rolling Stones,\u201d he continued to say. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t stop me writing them, you know. If you get an idea, just write it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, System Of A Down\u2019s Daron Malakian has blamed Oasis for England\u2019s World Cup loss, while Liam Gallagher has weighed in on England\u2019s World Cup result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/mick-jagger-speaks-for-the-nation-with-viral-reaction-to-england-conceding-in-world-cup-semi-final-3957268&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Mick-Jagger-2026.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Mick Jagger \u201cspeaks for the nation\u201d with viral reaction to England conceding in World Cup semi-final The Rolling Stones frontman shook his head in disappointment watching the Three Lions lose to Argentina last night (July 15) By Alex Rigotti 16th July 2026 Mick Jagger CREDIT: Gilbert Carrasquillo\/GC Images Mick Jagger\u2018s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,78],"class_list":["post-2047518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-nme-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2047518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2047518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2047518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2047518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2047518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2047518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
