Uri Geller promises to stop Kylian Mbappe from knocking England out of World Cup

England fans have been told not to fear France and their star striker Kylian Mbappe in the World Cup quarter-final clash this evening - as they have famous spoon bender and psychic Uri Geller on the Three Lions' side. The two clash in Qatar with a spot in the semis the prize.

The Israeli-British illusionist says he has a 'massive cosmic connection' to French ace Mbappe as they share a birthday and so therefore will be able to stop him scoring. The prolific goalscorer has already hit the back of the net five times in the four games he has played at the tournament and is seen as the main threat to England.

Uri told the Daily Star: “Because he was born on the same date as me, I have a massive connection to him - both cosmic and energy. 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.”
