Mayo curse strikes as diplomat tips Morocco

|December 15, 2022
MOROCCO fell victim to the Mayo curse last night as their fairytale journey through the World Cup ended at the hands of France.
-
The 2-0 loss came after James McIntyre, Ireland’s ambassador to the north African country, posted a photo of himself in his Mayo jersey.
He tweeted: “As a proud Mayo native I wore the county jersey to the office today. The (Moroccan) colleagues in our building like it a lot for some reason!”
He then added in French: “May the best side win and go on the Lions of the Atlas.”
Mayo were reportedly cursed never to win another trophy until all of their 1951 All-Ireland winning side had died.
