Brazilian Voodoo Priest Ready To Curse German Players
A popular Brazilian voodoo priest, Helio Sillman, from Rio de Janeiro has promised to curse German players when they take on Brazil in the semi-final of the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup Holding in the South American country on Tuesday, 8 July, 2014.
Brazil’s Selecao will play Joachim Loew’s team in the first of the two semi-finals onTueaday, while Argentina will play the Netherlands on Wednesday.
The hosts will be without their injured superstar Neymar in Belo Horizonte, but black magic enthusiast Sillman says his curse will hinder Germany in the semi-final.
“I’ll take their top player and bind his legs so he can’t run on the pitch,” said Sillman, referring to the voodoo doll of an undisclosed German player that will be cursed in a ceremony before the game.

In his shop “World of Orixas” in the northern neighborhood of Madureira, Sillman carries out a ritual before each Selecao game.
It was gathered that Sillman uses a small football pitch-shaped box as his alter, he puts inside lit candles in the colours of the opposing team and the voodoo doll of their most important player.
Sillman’s curse on James Rodriguez did not stop the Colombian star from scoring in his team’s 2-1 defeat to Brazil in Friday’s quarter-finals.

And he was powerless to prevent Selecao star Neymar from suffering a fractured vertebrae against the Colombians that has ruled him out of the World Cup.
But Sillman points to Brazil’s results against Cameroon, Chile, Croatia and Mexico as testimony to the influence of his magic.

“Those are the four teams that Brazil have overcome,” he said.
Germany’s Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer and Mats Hummels have been warned.
