I am behind Ronaldo injury problems, claims witch doctor

A Ghanaian has said that he has provoked the Portugal star to be spiritually wounded before the World Cup and will prevent him from facing the Black Stars.

A traditional priest from Ghana has said that he is behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury problems, which “can never be cured by any medic”.

The Real Madrid and Portugal star is suffering from tendonitis and is set to miss out on his country’s pre-World Cup friendlies against Mexico and Ireland, though Nana Kwaku Bonsam, who describes himself as a traditional priest, has claimed responsibility for the Ballon d’Or winner’s plight, which he has claimed to be “spiritual”.

“I know what Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury is about, I’m working on him,” the witchdoctor told Ghanaian radio station Angel FM.

“I am very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called ‘Kahwiri Kapam’.

“I said it four months ago that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo 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 thigh, next day it is something else.”

Ghana are due to play Portugal on June 26 in Brasilia, in what will be their final match of Group G, which also includes Germany and USA.

Official: David Villa signs with New York City FC

The 32-year-old has joined the MLS side after just one season with Atletico Madrid, who he helped to win their first Liga title in 18 years by scoring 13 goals in the league

New York City FC have confirmed that Spain's all-time leading goalscorer David Villa has become their first-ever signing as an MLS club.

The former Valencia and Barcelona striker departs Atletico Madrid after just one season, having scored 13 league goals to help his side become Liga champions for the first time since 1996. 

The forward will begin playing for New York City at the start of the 2015 MLS season, which will begin in March of that year, and will be the club's inaugural campaign in the competition.

Throughout my career I've always tried to keep pushing myself to achieve new targets and this represents another important goal for me,” the 32-year-old told New York City's official website.

“I want to try and help MLS continue to grow, through playing, working hard, scoring goals and at the same time try to make New York City FC become the best team in the league. 

"It's a real honor that the people who have formed the club have focused their attention on me. 

"I'm keen to do the best I can, take on board that extra responsibility and prove my worth by repaying the confidence they have shown in me,” he added.

Meanwhile, City's CEO called the signing a historic event for the club.

“This is a historic and exciting moment for the City family and the building of New York City Football Club,” said Ferran Soriano. 

“I know David really well; he is one of the best footballers in the world, a true winner and in an outstanding moment of his career. I’m sure New Yorkers will enjoy watching him play for their city,” he added.

Villa has won 94 caps for Spain, scoring 56 goals and was named in their 23-man squad for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Football: Brazil - Sweden

Emirates Stadium, London Wednesday 8pm CET
The worlds best national team agasinst a bunch of mediocore players, who will win the match? BRAZIL of course!

I like to critizes Sweden, they really think that they are good!The coach is like an open book, he uses the same tactics and players over and over...
And when you are about to meet a team like Brazil you dont put a keeper that is out of shape and hasn't played for months. Especially not when your team has injuries on key players.

Man of the match: Robinho
My Tip: 3-0
Brazil won't want to embarese them since it is a pointless game.
