A football prediction with zero scouting reports behind it has taken over social media. Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam, who calls himself a witch doctor, says World Cup debutants Cabo Verde are about to pull off one of the tournament’s biggest shocks by knocking out defending champions Argentina.
The claim has nothing to do with form, tactics, or injuries, yet it’s spreading fast ahead of the Round of 32 clash involving Lionel Messi’s side.

This isn’t Bonsam’s first brush with World Cup virality. During the group stage, he claimed to have placed a curse on England captain Harry Kane ahead of Ghana’s match against England. Kane went scoreless that game, and although there’s no real connection between the two events, it was enough to get people talking online again.
On paper, Argentina enter this clash as overwhelming favourites, having swept their group with three wins. Cabo Verde, meanwhile, are riding the high of a historic debut campaign and would love nothing more than to add a mystical footnote to an already fairy-tale tournament run.
Of course, no curse or prophecy changes what happens on the pitch. The result will come down to finishing, defending, and nerve when the two teams actually face off.
