England manager Thomas Tuchel questioned the process behind Folarin Balogun’s lifted suspension and joked that Harry Kane could ask Donald Trump to overturn Jarell Quansah’s red card, as Jude Bellingham called England’s Mexico win the best night of his career.
TUCHEL’S RED CARD JAB
Thomas Tuchel has questioned the process behind Folarin Balogun’s lifted suspension and joked Harry Kane could ask Donald Trump to help overturn Jarell Quansah’s red card, ESPN reports. FIFA confirmed Balogun would be eligible to face Belgium after invoking article 27 of its disciplinary code, with ABC News reporting Trump contacted FIFA boss Gianni Infantino over the punishment. Tuchel called Quansah’s sending-off against Mexico “not a red card,” questioning consistency in refereeing decisions and asking, “Where does this end?”
Quansah’s red card came via VAR review as England won 3-2 at Azteca Stadium. Trump later praised Kane on Truth Social, prompting Tuchel’s quip about a possible appeal route.
Jude Bellingham, who scored twice, called the win his proudest England moment, urging fans back home to skip work and school to celebrate. England next face Norway in Miami on Saturday.
