Social media influencer and football content creator Thogden has gone viral after posting a video from the FIFA World Cup 2026 clash between England and Ghana, sparking playful “black magic” speculation online following England’s goalless draw.
In the clip shared on Instagram, Thogden appeared to capture a Ghana supporter making gestures involving a white powder-like substance during the match. The influencer captioned the video, “Harry Kane’s been cursed,” triggering a wave of reactions and memes across social media.
The post quickly gained traction after England captain Harry Kane struggled to find the back of the net in a match that ended 0-0. Fans jokingly linked the team’s missed chances to the unusual stadium moment, fueling light-hearted “curse” theories online.
The footage showed a spectator in the stands handling a white substance and performing movements that some viewers interpreted as ritual-like. While the video sparked curiosity and humorous debate, there is no evidence suggesting any form of ritual or influence on the match outcome.
Much of the online conversation remained tongue-in-cheek, with fans using the moment to react to England’s inability to convert chances despite dominating parts of the game. Ghana’s resilient defensive performance also drew praise as they held firm under pressure.
The viral clip highlights how quickly social media can amplify unusual stadium moments during major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, turning brief incidents into global talking points regardless of context.
