England’s underwhelming performance against Ghana in a Group L FIFA World Cup match has triggered widespread discussion on social media, with some users linking the unexpected result to claims of “black magic,” despite the lack of any official or sporting evidence supporting such theories.

The match, which ended without Ghana scoring, saw England—who had previously scored four goals in their opening game—struggle to convert chances and maintain the same attacking rhythm. The performance also drew attention to England captain Harry Kane, who failed to replicate his earlier form that included a two-goal display in the previous fixture.

Following the match, clips circulated online showing a man referred to by users as a “juju master” performing unusual gestures near the stadium, fueling online speculation and unverified claims. Fans and social media users from both sides reacted with a mix of humor and conspiracy theories, though none of these assertions have been confirmed by match officials or FIFA.

Social media claims and viral videos

Additional videos shared online also featured an individual identified in posts as a Ghanaian traditional spiritual practitioner, who allegedly claimed influence over the match outcome. In later clips, the same individual reportedly stated that he had “released” Harry Kane so the England striker could perform in upcoming matches. These claims remain unverified and are based solely on viral social media content.

Despite the online speculation, Ghana’s performance has been described in sporting terms as disciplined and defensively structured, while England’s drop in attacking efficiency remains the key talking point among analysts.
