About this episode

The episode explores the paranormal involvement of witchdoctors in the World Cup, focusing on a historical incident with Australia's Socceroos and a curse on Harry Kane.

In 1969 Australia’s national football team the Socceroos were on the verge of qualifying for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, but they realised they needed a helping hand and turned to an unusual paranormal source… They hired a local witchdoctor in Mozambique which would set in motion paranormal dominoes causing chaos for the Australian team for 40 years. Kit Grier Mulvenna and Rory Powers also explore how the paranormal side of the World Cup hasn’t gone anywhere, as Witchdoctors in 2026 have cursed Harry Kane!
