Joachim Low can’t get any satisfaction from knowing Mick Jagger is backing Germany to beat Argentina in their Cape Town World Cup quarter-final.

The legendary Rolling Stones front-man was in Bloemfontein to watch the Germans dump England out of the competition last Sunday and was impressed enough to declare Low’s young side are his tip to go all the way.
Given his past record, it is not something Germany should be that comfortable with.
And Low is happy to steer away from good luck charms and ensure his players are totally focused on an eagerly-awaited tussle with Diego Maradona’s unbeaten outfit.
“We can’t bet any money on Mick Jagger’s predictions because he’s been wrong several times,” laughed Low.
“Instead we have to concentrate on what the Argentinian team have shown so far.
“They have won all their games, and in terms of numbers, they are almost incomparable attacking players.
“They have some incredibly talented strikers who don’t even make it into the side, like Diego Milito, who had such a fantastic season at Inter Milan. Their firepower is remarkable.”
