Did a Ghanaian Witch Doctor’s Curse Halt Harry Kane Against Ghana?
Before England’s 2026 World Cup group game with Ghana, a Ghanaian witch doctor claimed he had placed a curse on Harry Kane to stop him from scoring. The match ended 0–0 despite England holding over 70% possession. After Kane missed a late chance, the witch doctor said his spell worked and that he would later “release” Kane to score again. Superstitions in football are not new. Some clubs even offer animal sacrifices or consult fortune-tellers for success. But if curses were truly effective in a technical sport, why has no African team ever won the World Cup? Curses and supernatural beliefs still intrigue fans. They can spark debate, but they do not always succeed on the pitch.
