🚨 England faced an INELIGIBLE player at the 2026 World Cup after FIFA allowed DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi to play despite discovering his international switch from France had never been properly completed. 🇨🇩 FIFA became aware of the issue following a complaint from Nigeria before DR Congo’s final play-off against Jamaica, but no sporting sanction was imposed. Mpasi then starred against England in the Round of 32, making several huge saves before Harry Kane’s late double secured a 2-1 win. (Source: Le Monde)
