Even in the press conference after England's heroic 3-2 victory against Mexico (to the match report >>>), FIFA's intervention in the sporting competition was a topic.

How Thomas Tuchel Reacts

When asked whether England should now also take action against the red card given to Jarell Quansah, the German clearly let his opinion be known.

"Where does this begin and where does it end? Can we overturn this, or what? What's actually going on?" said the English national team coach. "Where is the line? Do we appeal against it if it's a yellow card or not? Do we think it's not a red card, or who thinks that?"

The question he asks himself is: "Where do we draw the line? I have no answer to that."
