Fifa Bans Jarell Quansah for 2 Matches After England's 3-2 Win Over Mexico

Jarell Quansah will miss England's quarter-final against Norway and any semi-final after Fifa turned his Mexico red card into a two-match suspension.
The 23-year-old was sent off in the 54th minute of England's 3-2 win for a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo, with Fifa classifying it as serious foul play and adding an extra game to the automatic ban.
England cannot appeal because tournament rules provide no route to challenge the disciplinary decision, though Quansah would be eligible for the 19 July final in New Jersey.
The ruling renewed criticism of Fifa's consistency after United States forward Folarin Balogun received only a one-match ban—plus a 12-month suspension of a second game—for a serious foul play red card against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
