A psychic with more than 24 million followers warned that aliens would swoop into Miami's World Cup clash between Scotland and Brazil and abduct players mid‑match, sparking a wave of memes and mockery online. As thousands of fans poured into the stadium for one of the tournament's most hyped fixtures, many on social media were glued to a very different storyline, asking whether the outlandish prophecy would come true.
The warning came from Brazilian spiritualist Vo Bahiana, whose tearful video predicting an extraterrestrial raid on the pitch spread rapidly and triggered a flood of jokes and disbelief. While most treated the claim as absurd entertainment, some viewers followed the game with an eye on the sky, curious to see whether anything at all out of the ordinary would happen.
