FIFA issued Jarell Quansah a two‑match suspension for serious foul play after his red card against Mexico, ruling him out of England’s World Cup quarter‑final with Norway and a potential semi‑final. The decision contrasts with the lenient treatment of Folarin Balogun following intervention from Donald Trump, prompting accusations of inconsistent disciplinary standards. Thomas Tuchel faces a right‑back selection dilemma amid injuries and yellow‑card risks, while England prepare to contain Erling Haaland. A potential semi‑final awaits against the winner of Argentina versus Switzerland.
