England May Appeal Quansah Red Card After Trump FIFA Row
England May Appeal Quansah Red Card After Trump FIFA Row

England could reportedly appeal Jarell Quansah's red card against Mexico ahead of their World Cup quarter-final meeting with Norway. The move comes after FIFA suspended the red card shown to USA striker Folarin Balogun, making him eligible to face Belgium. That decision followed a request from Donald Trump to FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review Balogun's sending-off.

Trump's Intervention Sparks Controversy

The incident has sparked a major row, with Belgium voicing frustration over the handling of the matter. Belgium's appeal was rejected by FIFA, and they later vowed to contest the ruling for 'the coming hours, days and months'. Now, it's claimed that England could launch an appeal of their own in an effort to overturn Quansah's red card.

England's Potential Appeal

According to reports, England are considering an appeal to FIFA to have Quansah's red card overturned, following the precedent set by Balogun's case. The decision could have significant implications for England's quarter-final clash against Norway.
