Summary

Jude Bellingham was not shown a red card for covering his mouth while talking to Jordan Ayew during England's World Cup draw with Ghana because FIFA rules only prohibit the act during heated confrontations, not friendly conversations. FIFA referees chief Pierluigi Collina clarified before the tournament that players can cover their mouths when chatting with friends without any issue. The conversation between Bellingham and Ayew was deemed friendly with no detectable animosity.
