Each case is different all the same. If Partey hadn't of disclosed he was arrested on suspicion he would most likely have been denied an entry visa to the US without recourse, likewise he would have been straight away denied entry if an arrest disclosed or undisclosed had led to a conviction, especially one so serious. Can only guess what answer he gave to the former, after all, that's information only relevant to Partey, US immigration and his FA. Disclosure of arrest sounds the most likely, as he'd be bounced if he lied - bit then again, it's probably a daily occurrance for immigration officials.

With the Canadians, the FA/Partey were probably well aware of their host's policies and they tried to purposefully leave out relevant information or at the very least, inaccurate on their application and once found out, his appeal would have had no grounds to stand on straight away and it makes no difference what his reason for entering their territory is whether that's sightseeing or playing football.

It's quite clear, and has already been stated on here, the hosting countries are free to implement whatever entry requirements they see fit and the details aren't always going to be public information in every case.

The RTE lads should have saved that kinda thing for the 3rd place playoff in Apres Match style.

I think most people would prefer Risteards Cooper's Kenny Cunningham over the real thing

Some talk about Gary Lineker showing up for ITVs coverage of the Germany game tonight, presumably as a pundit on the panel, or perhaps just a cameo trying to flog his own streaming stuff.

Dunno if they mentioned it yesterday on their coverage............alternative is Kenny talking about Wirtz and that as he threatened to last night

Holland are literally and figuratively glowing here.

Brobbey on for a hatrick

Sweden looking better, just need some composure in the box

Very close there - fair play to the swedes some v decent chances after a bad start

Very enjoyable 1st half, Sweden 🇸🇪 asleep until the water break

Same goal every time
