Bonsam points past Argentina as Ghana's World Cup path opens
Nana Kwaku Bonsam says Cabo Verde will knock out Argentina, Ghana ready for the winner
The Ghanaian spiritualist who claimed he cursed Harry Kane before your team's goalless draw with England is back. Nana Kwaku Bonsam now predicts Cabo Verde will eliminate Argentina in the World Cup round of 32 (2). Ghana face the winner of that tie. His exact words, via Argentine outlet Olé: "Cabo Verde eliminará a Argentina" (2).
Bonsam grabbed headlines before the England match, and Ghana held Kane and company to a 0–0 draw in Foxborough. Now he is pointing past Argentina toward your team's path.
Brobbey and Luckassen are brothers, different surnames, same Ghana shirt
Brian Brobbey and Derrick Luckassen both play for Ghana at this World Cup. They are brothers (1). The surnames differ, so the connection went largely unnoticed until now. Dutch outlet RTL dug into the family history to explain why.
Both featured in Carlos Queiroz's squad that opened with a 1–0 win over Panama and then frustrated England into a goalless draw.
Fan reactions
Ghanaian fans online are split. Some are leaning into the Bonsam mystique after the England result and treating the Cabo Verde prediction as another omen. Others are more cautious, pointing out Argentina are still Argentina and that spiritualists do not score goals. Threads are bouncing between celebration and nervous energy.
