Prophet Telvin predicts England vs Ghana outcome
Speaking with conviction, he declared that England's No. 4 [Declan Rice] would be the one to "gift" Ghana the victory.
The man of God didn't stop there. He went on to proclaim that from the 41st minute onwards, the Black Stars would 'colonise' the Three Lions, leaving the English players 'sweating' while their Ghanaian counterparts rejoiced.
Despite England being 'busy' in the game, as he saw in the prophetic realm, Prophet Telvin insisted it would all amount to nothing as the Black Stars would emerge victorious.
Watch Prophet Telvin's prediction, as shared on X:
The prophecy tapped into a deeply rooted tradition in Ghana, where religious figures frequently weigh in on major national events — football included.
Whether it's prayers before a match or prophetic declarations from the pulpit, faith and football are rarely far apart in Ghana.

England vs Ghana: Match preview
The clash between England and Ghana stands out as one of the most eagerly anticipated group-stage encounters at the 2026 World Cup.
While the two nations share deep historical ties, they have met only once on the football pitch – a friendly at the iconic Wembley Stadium in 2011.
On that occasion, England appeared destined for victory after Andy Carroll's opener, only for Asamoah Gyan to produce a brilliant solo effort deep into stoppage time to salvage a draw for the Black Stars, according to the BBC.
Watch highlights of the match, as shared on YouTube:
Fifteen years on, the stakes are considerably higher. With both teams having won their opening Group L matches, the showdown on June 23 could prove decisive in determining who finishes top of the group and gains a potentially favourable route into the knockout stages.
