FA contests VAR protocol before Jarell Quansah's World Cup red card
Summary

Jarell Quansah of England received a red card during a World Cup match against Mexico, subsequently leading to a suspension for two games. The decision was influenced by a VAR intervention citing a mistimed challenge. The FA argues that VAR procedures were not correctly followed, as the referee was shown a freeze-frame instead of the live video replay first. Despite the FA's objections, Quansah’s suspension stands, with no possibility of appeal according to FIFA rules. England is preparing for their upcoming quarter-final against Norway without Quansah, as they also assess the fitness of other players.
