Quansah Banned for Two Games After Mexico Red Card The Football Association's decision not to appeal Jarell Quansah's two match ban for his red card against Mexico has been met with a collective shrug from fans and pundits alike.
The automatic one game suspension, coupled with an additional match due to "serious foul play," is hardly draconian punishment given the gravity of Quansah's mistake.
The disparity in treatment between Quansah and Folarin Balogun, who was sent off for a similar offense against Bosnia Herzegovina and received a one match suspension, raises questions about the criteria used to determine punishments.
