Quansah (England vs. Mexico) and Balogun (USA vs. Bosnia) were both dismissed by the video assistant referee (VAR). However, their outcomes were completely different, causing major controversy:
I’ve seen both challenges thanks.

They’re completely different.

One is an aerial challenge that comes down on the back of the lads leg accidentally.

The other is lunging studs up challenge for the ball.

I don't give a shit what ESPN says they're totally different.

I’m going 3-2 France.

Therefore it’ll probably be 0-0 and pens

Can someone stop handing out penalties to France?

Stay on your feet. Especially from that angle.
