Harry Kane denies claiming loss of control during Ghana match

Harry Kane has refuted claims that he stated he lost control of his body during the World Cup match against Ghana on June 23, 2026. Following the match, which ended in a 0-0 draw, Kane's post-match interviews did not reference any physical issues, focusing instead on strategies and Ghana's strengths. The false claim originated from a social media post alleging Kane spoke about a witch doctor's 'curse' affecting his performance. The Ghanaian witch doctor, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, had previously stated he placed a curse on Kane but later claimed it had been lifted, asserting Kane would perform better in future matches.
