Witch Bonsam claims to have lifted the curse placed on Kane.
Before the match between England and Ghana, Nana Kwaku Bonsam attracted attention by claiming to use psychic powers to prevent Kane from scoring. This individual claimed his abilities came from the Kofi Oo Kofi shrine and had previously called himself "the only true African man."
The match in Boston ended in a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes of deadlock. Notably, Kane missed the best chance in the final minutes when Nico O'Reilly's header hit the post and bounced right to him. However, the England striker shot the ball over the crossbar, much to the astonishment of the fans.
The situation made Bonsam's statements even more attention-grabbing. After the match, the sorcerer quickly posted a video on his personal page and claimed to have ended the curse on Kane.
"I am the most powerful psychic in the world . Now I will release Harry Kane so he can score in the next game. Harry, I will come to visit you. Don't be angry, we are friends," Bonsam said while performing a ritual with many strange objects.
Previously, he stated that he only wanted to silence Kane against Ghana and not cause any serious injury. Bonsam also claimed to have accurately predicted many major football events.
This isn't the first time this figure has caused controversy. Before the 2014 World Cup, he claimed he was behind Cristiano Ronaldo's knee injury to prevent the Portuguese superstar from facing Ghana. However, Ronaldo still participated in the tournament and scored against Ghana in Portugal's 2-1 victory.
