England may follow US lead as FIFA bends to political pressure over World Cup red cards

FIFA reversed a red card decision against a US player after the USA–Bosnia match at the World Cup, reportedly following lobbying by Donald Trump. The unprecedented move has caused outrage, as it suggests refereeing decisions can be overturned under political pressure. Reports indicate that England may now seek a similar reversal for one of their own players.
