🚨 BREAKING: Jamie Carragher blasts FIFA and Canada over Thomas Partey visa controversy
"This is an absolute disgrace from a tournament planning point of view. You spend years building towards a World Cup, qualifying, preparing squads, getting everything right — and then something like this happens days before kickoff. It’s just not acceptable at this level of football."
"If Thomas Partey is part of Ghana’s plans and has been cleared to be in the squad, then how does it get to a point where a visa issue knocks him out of the opening game against Panama? That’s not football, that’s administration failure."
"I don’t care who is responsible — FIFA, Canada, immigration — someone has to take accountability. You cannot tell fans to invest emotionally in a tournament and then allow situations where key players are missing because paperwork wasn’t sorted in time."
"At the very least, these issues should be resolved weeks before the first match. It’s unfair on the player, it’s unfair on Ghana, and it damages the integrity of the competition. This is exactly the kind of chaos that should never happen at a World Cup."
[🟢] NEW: Alex Scott has informed Bournemouth of his intention to leave the club with Liverpool close to agreeing personal terms.

Everyone knows that if England are going to progress into the latter stages of the World Cup, then it will require Harry Kane to be at his brilliant best.
And after a fairly lacklustre half against New Zealand, the Bayern Munich striker, with his header on the verge of half-time, showed exactly why he is key to England's chances.
Djed Spence's cross was excellent, but Kane's flick to nod it past Max Crocombe in the New Zealand net was even better.
