Ghana manager Carlos Queiroz has launched a scathing attack on the officiating standards at the 2026 World Cup, suggesting that the VAR officials must have been on a coffee break during a controversial moment in their 0-0 draw with England. The veteran coach was left incensed after the Black Stars were denied what he deemed a "clear penalty and red card" during the stalemate in Foxborough.

Carlos Queiroz has explained his heated exchange with Jude Bellingham during Ghana's 0-0 draw with England at the 2026 World Cup. Bellingham was seen being pulled away from the Ghana boss as tensions threatened to spill over at half-time, though Thomas Tuchel later denied that England's opponents had "got under their skin".
