3 Famou Curses In Football History by Adwoabroni: 6:15pm On May 08, 2022
Pep Guardiola's champions league woes are believed to have come from the Yaya Toure's curse and today, we seek to look out for some other famous curses in the world of football.
Superstition over the years has dominated the football scenes even though it was supposed to be a game solely depending on tactics, abilities and talents.

Pep Guardiola and his Manchester United team suffered another awful champions league disappointment despite having the advantage over the two games in their home grounds Etihad and Bernabao, Real Madrid's home grounds.

After the defeat to Real Madrid, Manchester City has had six unsuccessful attempts to win the most decorated European trophy since Pep Guardiola took over as the manager of the club.

Well, many tend to ask, why is this inform Manchester City team with an intelligent coach in the shape of Pep Guardiola doubled up with talented players struggling to write their name among the pantoums of greats? The answer to this question according to the multitude is the Yaya Toure's curse.

Below are the other most famous curses in football in honor of that highly superstitious and probably untrue phenomenon.
Haunted house
Southampton Football Club has had their housewarming failing to go as planned after moving from their old stadium, "The Dell" to the present grounds, "Saint Mary's Park". This happened in 2001.


After moving to the Saint Mary's Park at the start of the 2001/02 season, the club had its fair share of proper struggles and it triggered different theories flying around to rationalize their dismal home form.



It got to the public domain that while the Saint Mary's Park was under construction, a Portsmouth Football Club supporter buried a jersey of Southampton under the stands.


Another rumor also popped up, having it that the stadium was built non a pagan burial site which jinxed the team.


Looking at how untrue and ridiculous those stories sounded, Pegan witch Ceridwen Dragonoak Connelly performed a Celtic cleansing ceremony and whether by divine intervention or just pure luck, Southampton won their next home game, on November 25, 2001.


After having a smooth ride on Charlton, witch in question was in a gloating mood, quoted as saying "I performed a ritual there and, because of my upbringings, I did it in Welsh. I performed a cleansing of the ground in Celtic tradition but athletes are a very superstitious bunch and I did a blessing for some positive energy and it has obviously worked."


Fetish felines
History has it that somewhat in 1967, An Argentinian club, Independiente had their fans breaking into the stadium of the neighbors and eternal rival Racing Club to bury seven dead cats while the rival club were out jubilating and celebrating a trophy they had won.

am not saying it works, either

But one tin about curses is that even if they are affecting u, u wont know, u wil just be tinking that its u that is not putting more effort.
What ur mate does with ease, u would find it difficult to do, that is even if u have the opportunity to do it.
Till u grow grey hair u wont know shishi grin and people will even be blaming u for bn lazy grin
