Fifa's disciplinary committee head, Mohammad al Kamali, did not respond to BBC inquiries regarding Jarell Quansah's two-match suspension. Quansah's red card in England's 3-2 victory over Mexico was deemed serious foul play, resulting in the additional game ban. In contrast, US forward Folarin Balogun, also sent off for serious foul play against Bosnia-Herzegovina, had his suspension waived, attracting criticism, particularly after lobbying from US officials. Al Kamali faced questions from BBC's Dan Roan but remained silent on the controversial disciplinary decisions, prompting further scrutiny into Fifa's processes.
