Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian preacher, Prophet George Asante, failed to correctly predict the match between the Black Stars and Portugal in the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Before the Black Stars' first game at 974 Stadium in Doha on Thursday, November 24, 2022, the preacher had projected a win for the home team.

In a subsequent video, Prophet Asante explained that it was not a prophecy but a prediction. ''I never said thou sayeth the Lord.''

The preacher said he predicted like any other Ghanaian with love for the Black Stars and got it wrong like others whose predictions failed.
