Senegal's Sadio Mane tries his luck from a long way out but it's straight down the keeper's throat.

Ghana officials have appealed Canada's decision to refuse midfielder Thomas Partey entry into the country for the team's first World Cup match while he awaits trial on rape charges.

A Canadian federal court heard the appeal just one day before Ghana faces Panama in Toronto.

Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had criticised the visa denial for Partey, who awaits trial in Britain, as a "high-handed and extremely unfair decision".

England have suffered an injury blow on the eve of the match against Croatia, with Newcastle defender Tino Livramento ruled out of the tournament with a calf injury.

Livramento picked up the injury in training.

Coach Thomas Tuchel called up Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah as his replacement, again ignoring Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Jeez, that's some attacking line-up from France. Mbappe, Dembele, Olise and Doue.

Senegal include their own big guns. Mane, Jackson and Sarr. Surely there will be goals in this one!
