A well-known  Ghanaian traditional spiritualist, Nana Kwaku Bonsam has made headlines ahead of England’s crucial World Cup group-stage encounter with Ghana after claiming he intends to use spiritual means to affect the performance of England captain, Harry Kane. England will be looking to secure qualification for the knockout stages when they face Ghana on Tuesday, having opened their campaign with an impressive victory over Croatia. Kane was one of the standout performers in that match, scoring twice to help the Three Lions make a strong start to the tournament. He told local media that he believes he can influence the outcome of the match by directing his efforts towards the England striker. “I am working on Harry Kane,” Bonsam said. “I have shown what I am capable of before, so I know what I must do to stop him. I am not wishing him a serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country.” Bonsam has made similar claims in the past. Ahead of the 2014 World Cup, h...

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history. Messi netted his 17th goal at the 2026 edition, to open the scoring against Austria.
