Just hours before the highly anticipated clash between Ivory Coast and Germany, scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 8:00 PM GMT, a prophetic statement is causing a stir online in Ivory Coast. The self-proclaimed "Ra'ah," Prophet Major Daniel Ziagoué, has shared a spiritual vision concerning the outcome of this crucial World Cup match.

Reject the draw, aim for the three points

The religious leader strongly warned the fans and the national team against overconfidence and a lack of spiritual ambition. According to him, settling for a draw against the Germans would be a serious miscalculation.

"Many Ivorians are already imagining a draw against Germany before beating Curaçao. But who guarantees you a victory against Curaçao? Have you read the future?" he asked, recalling in passing the painful memory of the defeat against Equatorial Guinea during the AFCON at home.

For the Prophet Major, the verdict of the sporting ballot box is decided first and foremost in the unseen realm:

"We must not pray for a mere draw. We must pray for victory. Ivorians must rise up in prayer."

A prophecy that divides internet users

As is often the case with football predictions, Daniel Ziagoué's statements immediately ignited social media. Two camps are now clashing in the public arena:

1. The skeptics: For many internet users, football remains a field sport that depends on tactical and physical preparation, believing that the divine should not be mixed in.
2. The believers: Others, more superstitious or fervent, share the opinion of the man of God and believe that spiritual support is a significant boost to push the Elephants towards the feat.

The appointment is set for this evening at 8pm GMT to find out if the prayers of the Ivorians will tip the scales against the Mannschaft .
