Watch: Ghanaian witch frees England star after ‘successful curse’ on Harry Kane

Harry Kane and the Ghanaian Shaman England’s goalless World Cup draw against Ghana attracted attention on and off the pitch after a Ghanaian shaman claimed to have placed a curse on England captain Harry Kane and later “released” it after the match.Nana Kwaku Bonsam, the self-proclaimed spiritualist who previously claimed responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, posted the video after Kane missed a late chance in Boston.Bonsam said he worked to prevent Kane from scoring against Ghana but insisted he was not serious.“I am the most powerful spiritualist in the whole world. Now I will release Harry Kane so he can score in the next game,” said Bonsam. “Harry, I’m coming to see you. Don’t be offended. We’re friends.”Watch:He claimed before the match: “I’m working on Harry Kane. I’ve shown what I’m capable of before so I know the work I have to do to stop him. I’m very famous for my predictions.”The comments even prompted a response from illusionist Uri Geller, who vowed to counter any negative energy directed at the England striker.While the bizarre story of the curse grabbed the headlines, England’s performance was much debated. Former defender Micah Richards described the display as a “Southgate performance” and said the team lacked energy and creativity compared to the opening win over Croatia.Former England stars Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Joe Cole, Gary Neville and Roy Keane largely agreed that England were lucky not to lose after escaping a penalty decision and a possible red card for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.Despite the criticism, most pundits urged calm, noting that England remain well placed in the tournament. Manager Thomas Tuchel and his team now turn their attention to the decisive match of the final group stage against Panama.
