A Brazilian voodoo priest has announced that he would set a curse on Germany's football team for the World Cup semi-final.
Black magic follower, Helio Sillman has planned a voodoo doll curse and said that he would take Germany's top player and 'bind' his legs so he cannot run on the pitch, The Washington Times reported.
Sillman owns and operates a black magic shop called 'World of Orixas' situated in Madureira, and he carries out a voodoo ritual before many of the games.
He places a voodoo doll of the opposing team's most important player inside a small box and lights candles to say the curse, the report said.
The voodoo priest still has four dolls ready to go for the upcoming four matches that Brazil is still left to play, the report added.
