He's a spectator. How can he possibly have any impact on what takes place on the pitch ?

Today is Friday 13. If you are supestitious then visit the French or the Cratioan embassy hoping for a black cat to cross the road and look for a ladder to walk under at the same time. If that will bring good or bad luck to you or to France or to Cratia I don't know, but I am 100% sure Mick may attend any football game without having any influence on the result whatsoever.
Well put. Agree with all of that. Superstition is irrational nonsense.

On the other hand... Extreme pressure and negativity from the press may have an influence on how players do perform. I do remember how the British press handled the Beckham red card. Not something you would like to build a team around, I mean the love from your own country including the press is vital for success, and that goes for every player, also the coach. It seems as England is on the right track.

At this point with the "Mick jinx" being so well known, could be just the mention that Mick will be attending and rooting for your team has a damaging psychological effect and influence on the team.
Once they hear about it, the brain plays funny tricks on them and they don't perform at their highest standards.

Could not disagree more, Micks support for any team is the death nail. He’s might as well be Private Wrongo Starr.

Google F-Troop Private Wrongo Starr or another analogy a movie called The Cooler starring Alec Baldwin and William H Macy. That’s how people like that have an impact.

Hear now on the sports news that both sides gives a @#$%& about this match. They are resting their best players. It will be England B against Belgium B.
A bit strange since Belgium has a chance to win their first medal ever in the World Cup. But there you go..
I think it's a bit disrespectful to the fans who supported their teams from the beginning.Quote

I'm a Belgium? BELGIUM has not to score in the qualifications against England. The stupid mistake they have done in qualifications. England was 100% agree that they lost the game against Belgium. That stupid player from Belgium who score the goal, WORTHLESS, he shall never play in the Belgium team in the future.

I feel sorry for England & Belgium having to play a third place game. Sort of throwing salt in the wound. FIFA should just call it tied for third like the NCAA basketball tourney in the states.

No thanks. What would be next, commercial tv breaks?
