Harry Redknapp criticizes FIFA for Jarell Quansah's two-match ban

Summary

Harry Redknapp expressed frustration regarding FIFA's decision to impose a two-match suspension on England defender Jarell Quansah. The ban follows Quansah's red card for serious foul play during England's 3-2 win against Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16. Redknapp suggested that the British government should intervene, citing a similar case where Donald Trump influenced a ban for U.S. player Folarin Balogun. Despite Redknapp's appeal, the English FA has been informed they cannot contest FIFA’s ruling ahead of their next match against Norway.
