Christine ChristieEvery time [no comma] a World Cup is held, claques are formed to cheer on the teams, and sometimes supporters even ~~?bear?~~ ?wear? amulets ~~aiming~~ purported to bring good luck ~~and fortune~~ to their teams.

As shown.

'bear' suggests 'holding something heavy', even holding it upright. (Cross bearers in a church.)
'wear' suggests 'having something pinned on clothing or encircling one's wrist or neck'.

I think you mean 'wear'.

'good luck' and 'fortune' are basically the same thing; there's nothing to be gained by saying both.
