## Resource

Thomas Partey’s World Cup debut is on hold after Canada denied his visa—FIFA won’t intervene—and he’s facing legal trouble in London. Meanwhile, Alexi Lalas dropped a shockingly colorful British word live on air, leaving Thierry Henry and crew speechless. Bosnia held Canada to a draw with a heroic defense, including a jaw-dropping goal-line save, but fell agonizingly short. Trump reportedly called the US squad before kickoff, telling them they could win it all—and the players’ reactions? Priceless. And those empty seats? FIFA says scanned tickets count, not eyeballs—many fans were just chilling in the concourses. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
