The report presents Lobo, described as a business astrologer, as the most confident voice in the mystical group. His formula combines stars and numbers, and the account credits him with correctly identifying recent World Cup winners.
Lobo described England as “parece fenomenal” and said Kane “não está sozinho”, while predicting that Jude Bellingham would be discussed throughout the tournament. His conclusion was unmistakable: England would win under Thomas Tuchel.
It is a powerful headline, but football has a habit of punishing certainty - especially when the prediction arrives before the decisive matches.
The strangest player-focused claim came from Nana Kwaku Bonsam, described as a Ghanaian healer. The report says he claimed responsibility for Kane’s missed chance and the goalless meeting between England and Ghana.
“Estou trabalhando em Harry Kane. Não desejo uma lesão grave. Será apenas o suficiente para pará-lo contra meu país. Farei meu trabalho para ajudar Gana,” Bonsam said.
The account says Kane failed to score against Ghana before finding the net in later matches. Uri Geller also entered the story, promising: “Vou enviar vibrações. Vou ativar todos os meus poderes, toda a minha energia, todo o meu conhecimento.” The episode offers more theatre than evidence, but it shows how quickly a player can become the centre of a supernatural narrative.
In Mexico, the report says the dolphin Hidalgo made a strong early run of correct choices before backing Mexico against England. A Brazilian shark, Ritinha, reportedly chose Brazil against Morocco and got the result wrong, though the setup offered no draw option.
The most extreme forecast came from Vó Bahiana, who claimed a “massiva” spacecraft would abduct people during Brazil’s match against Scotland. No such event occurred.
As the next fixtures arrive, the real storyline will be less mystical: whether the teams, players and managers can turn pressure into results when prediction finally gives way to performance.
