Speaking to members of his congregation, Prophet Telvin Sowah Adjei delivered an animated message ahead of Tuesday's World Cup clash between Ghana and England.

The founder of Prophetic Life Embassy confidently predicted victory for the Black Stars, repeatedly declaring that Ghana would "colonise" the Three Lions throughout the encounter.

"The England national team? Jesus! I said we will colonise England. Amen. We are going to colonise them," the pastor declared.
"They will cry in British. They will be saying, 'Innit?' but we will be colonising them. Their coach will sweat. He will keep changing players, but we will still colonise them. Even their king will ask, 'What is happening?' We will colonise the whole country."

According to the clergyman, Carlos Queiroz's men would dominate proceedings from the opening whistle and leave England chasing shadows.

"From the first minute until the second half, we will colonise them," he continued.
"You will see people sweating. They will be playing nice football, but we will be running faster. We will be moving quickly."

Among his most intriguing claims, Prophet Sowah Adjei singled out England vice captain Declan Rice, suggesting that the Arsenal midfielder would struggle during the game and somehow play a part in Ghana's decisive goal.

"Their number four will be falling down everywhere," he said.

The preacher also predicted that England's defenders would make costly mistakes that Ghana would exploit.

"Their defenders will leave their positions for us to score. They will just be playing and playing, but we will be scoring."
"If they make a mistake, it's a goal in the 86th minute."

The outspoken pastor further claimed that England would be left regretting the outcome long after the final whistle.

"After the match, they will remember my prophecy," he added.

His remarks have since gone viral on social media, adding another layer of intrigue to one of the most eagerly anticipated matches involving an African side at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Away from the off-field drama, both teams head into the match level on three points after winning their opening fixtures.

England began their campaign with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Croatia, with Harry Kane scoring twice to put himself among the leading scorers at the tournament.

The Three Lions have won three consecutive matches in all competitions and appear to be building momentum at the perfect time.

Ghana, meanwhile, edged Panama 1-0 thanks to a strike from Caleb Yirenkyi. The result placed the four-time African champions level with England at the summit of Group D, with Panama and Croatia still searching for their first points.

Interestingly, the last meeting between the two countries ended in a 1-1 draw in an international friendly played in March 2011.

According to Opta, form statistics favour Thomas Tuchel's side. England have recorded four wins, one draw and one defeat in their last six matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding four, while the Black Stars have managed only one victory in their previous six games, drawing once and losing four times while conceding 11 goals.

Whether Prophet Telvin Sowah Adjei's prediction proves accurate remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Tuesday's encounter has already captured attention far beyond the football pitch.
