Uri Geller says he’s ‘going to stop’ Kylian Mbappe scoring against England

In a few hours time, England will face their toughest test of the World Cup when they go up against the mighty France.

Proving to be one of the biggest threats in the tournament, Les Bleus are blessed with a variety of attacking players, including Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembélé.

However, the man Harry and the lads will be most worried about will almost certainly be Kylian Mbappé, who is the tournament's top scorer, with five goals.

Uri Geller says he 'will stop' the 23-year-old from scoring tonight.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the spoon bender, who shares a birthday with the Frenchman, believes he can help the Three Lions to victory.

“Because he was born on the same date as me, I have a massive connection to him - both cosmic and energy," he said.

“It is my opinion that I will be able to stop him from scoring. I believe if the Daily Star readers can think alike, psych him out, and visualise him missing and not scoring, it is possible."

However, despite his extraordinary psychic abilities, Geller admitted that it won't be easy.

Adding: "He is a scoring machine and it is very difficult to stop him. He is very dangerous, as you can see.

"I will do my best to psych him out, that’s what I taught Muhammed Ali to do when he was fighting in the ring."

But while Geller might be confident of an England victory, others aren't as convinced.

A self-proclaimed 'time traveller' revealed recently that they think this is the end of the road for England.

@worldcuptimetraveller has been sharing footage of full-time match scenes for a while now, and recently shared what they claimed was footage of Brazil winning the World Cup.

Alongside the footage, they wrote: "Brazil just beat France in the 2022 World Cup final."

@worldcuptimetraveller said Brazil would beat France 2-1 and their footage not only showed Brazilian players celebrating, but French player Olivier Giroud looking unhappy with his head bowed.

The scoreline Brazil 2 - France 1 could also be seen in @worldcuptimetraveller’s footage, as could official-looking World Cup graphics.

However, anyone who's actually been following the tournament will be aware that Brazil were knocked out by Croatia last night (9 December).

So maybe this particular 'time traveller' is talking out of his arse.
