MIKE KEEGAN IN DALLAS: Partey has lost his appeal against being denied entry to Canada - after it emerged at a hearing that he had not declared his rape charges on his original submission.

Kylian Mbapp scored twice to move past Pel and Lionel Messi with 14 World Cup goals, Bradley Barcola added another and France rebounded from a surprisingly poor first half to beat Senegal 3-1 Tuesday in its opener.Mbapp had 14 touches in the scoreless first half, the fewest of any player, then showed his brilliance when he put Les Bleus ahead in the 66th minute. He burst past Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly, turned onto a diagonal pass from Michael Olise and slid the ball past goalkeeper douard Mendy from just outside the 6-yard box.Barcola entered in the 80th and doubled the lead two minutes later, running onto Adrien Rabiot's through ball and lifting the ball past Mendy for his fourth international goal.Senegal forward Ibrahim Mbaye cut the deficit with an angled shot five minutes into stoppage time. Mbapp then had a spectacular long-range goal a minute later, over Mendy's outstretched arm and just under the crossbar.It's relief. We did have some apprehension, France coach Didier Deschamps said through a translator. It's always great to start with a win. Its not decisive, but its good to start in that way.Trying to reach its third straight World Cup final, France plays Iraq on Monday in Philadelphia, then closes Group I on June 26 against Norway at Foxborough, Massachusetts. Senegal meets Norway on Monday at MetLife Stadium and finishes the first round against Iraq at Toronto.Mbapp moved one ahead of Messi and Just Fontaine on the World Cup career scoring list and is tied with Germany's Gerd Mller, trailing only Brazils Ronaldo (15) and Germany's Miroslav Klose (16). Mbapp also set a French record with 58 international goals, one more than Olivier Giroud.France was outshot 5-1 in the first half, which resembled a tentative friendly. Senegal striker Nicolas Jacksons 25th-minute shot hit a post, rebounded off the heel of goalkeeper Mike Maignan and bounced into touch.In the first half, we werent good, they were better than us, France defender William Saliba said.Les Bleus then outshot their opponents 10-1 in the second half.With fans in Senegal denied visas by the U.S. government, supporters of the Lions of Teranga appeared limited to a few sections in MetLife Stadiums southwest corner on a sunny 77-degree Fahrenheit (25-degree Celsius) afternoon. While most of the stadium was filled with a just-under sellout crowed of 80,545, there were empty seats in a mezzanine club level, which has air-conditioned suites behind the outdoor chairs.Two hours before kickoff, tickets dropped to as low as $69 on FIFAs resale site. FIFA sold tickets at $220-$620 in December.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-world-cup

Joe Root has dismissed suggestions that England should introduce an alcohol ban, insisting the Test squad does not have a drinking culture despite recent controversies.The veteran batsman, who takes charge of the side for Wednesday's second Test against New Zealand at the Oval, noted that errors have been made but believes a blanket prohibition would be the wrong approach."I don't necessarily think that's the way to go," Root told Sky Sports."I don't think there's a drinking culture within our team. I think, like I said, there have been occasions where we've let ourselves down, and we've got things wrong.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say"We have to accept that and move forward from that and learn from that, but I also think that when you work towards something for a long time, there should be opportunities and chances where you can celebrate that and enjoy that with the team."Not everyone drinks anyway within our group, but you should be able to get together and celebrate that and spend that time. "And some of my greatest memories and fondest memories have been in the dressing room afterwards."So, that's good fun and good, good stuff that you can do off the back of winning, and what you work towards for a long period of time, but you've got to pick the right times and the right places, and I think that's the important thing."LATEST SPORTS NEWSWorld Cup 2026 day six: France lineup with Olise, Dembele, Doue and Mbappe against SenegalRuben Amorim lands new role six months after being sacked by Manchester UnitedBBC axes legendary Wimbledon pundit from lead commentary coverageBoth Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson were removed from the squad last week, whilst an investigation continues into their evening out following England's triumph in the opening Test at Lord's.The incident reportedly saw a member of England's security personnel being struck by a Saracens rugby player, with Stokes present at the scene.England's director of cricket, Rob Key, indicated last week that the ECB was weighing up alcohol restrictions for the national team, with the recent Ashes series having raised fresh concerns about player conduct.Root maintained that players deserve opportunities to mark their achievements together after extended periods of hard work and dedication.He said: "There's been a few incidents where guys have let themselves down, but I don't necessarily think that's a fair reflection of our dressing room. "We've got to obviously own it and know that that is not okay, but at the same time, I don't think that's a fair reflection on us as a team. We work incredibly hard."As a cricketer, the amount of time and pressure that you spend away from home, away from your families, in high-pressure environments, and mistakes have been made. "We have to learn from those clearly, and we have to move on from those quickly, and we have to earn the trust of everyone back by being as professional as we can, and putting good performances in."Root shared that he has been in contact with Stokes, who appears to be coping well despite the circumstances."I've spoken with Ben, he seems in a good place in the last week or so," Root said."I think Ben feels like he's let himself down, right? My main concern is, always, you look at the person and make sure that they're okay, so that is first and foremost the most important thing, and then in terms of this week and moving forward as a team, it's concentrating, making sure that everyone is fully on task and understanding of what's ahead of us and what an exciting opportunity we have."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
