World Cup LIVE: USA thrashed by Belgium as hosts crash out after Folarin Balogun saga
FA chiefs are “considering their options” over Jarell Quansah’s red card, reports John Cross.
The England defender was sent off against Mexico which puts him out of Saturday’s quarter final against Norway.
There is no direct appeal process in this World Cup even though England boss Thomas Tuchel was unhappy with the sending-off.
However, the FA have seen Folarin Balogun’s one-match ban get suspended for 12 months after US president Donald Trump’s intervention.
England would have to present a case or grounds for the suspension to be overturned which would have been remote until FIFA got involved in US star Balogun’s case.
But now the door has been opened for other nations to do similar and that is why the FA are thinking about taking further steps.
