I have shown what I am capable of before, so I know what work I must do to stop him. I am very famous for my predictions.'I am not wishing him serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana.'Kane has been threatened with a curse as he closes in on Gary Lineker's World Cup goal-scoring record Nana Kwaku Bonsam has vowed to put a curse on England captain Harry KaneBonsam claims his powers come from the Kofi Oo Kofi shrine and labels himself 'Africa's only Authentic Man'.Speaking in 2014 when Ronaldo missed Portugal's clash with Ghana, Nana said: 'I know what Cristiano Ronaldo's injury is about, I'm working on him. I am very serious about it.'I said it four months ago that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him out of the World Cup or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana and the best thing I can do is to keep him out though injury.'This injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the injury because it is spiritual. Today, it is his knee, tomorrow it is his thigh, next day it is something else.'Kane, who is one goal away from breaking Gary Lineker's England World Cup goal-scoring record, will be hoping to avoid a similar fate.The game against Ghana is another opportunity for Thomas Tuchel's team to show their prowess in the group stage after impressing against Croatia.

It's good.'Videos of Spence being called out by Tuchel have gone viral this week. 'I wouldn't be the only one he says it to. It's part of the game,' Spence added.'I think he's a great manager, he's a great guy. Very detailed in what he wants to do. I've got great respect for him.'It's like what he always says, we're building a family, we've built a brotherhood within the team, everyone has one dream, one brain.'I think everyone is on the same path. We can do special things. I think he's built that environment with this squad.'
