Multiple outlets report that foreign media are criticizing refereeing after Jude Bellingham remains on the pitch following an incident in England’s match against Ghana. The dispute centers on Bellingham covering his mouth while communicating with Ghana opponent Jordan Ayew. Some reports say this action is covered by a newer match regulation, leading critics to question why Bellingham is not penalized or sent off. The coverage frames the reaction as concerns about “two-tier refereeing,” suggesting England may be treated differently than opponents under similar circumstances. The articles do not provide consensus on whether the referee’s decision fully complied with the rule interpretation, but they agree that the incident is drawing attention and prompting public debate abroad. Overall, the reports focus on the officiating decision and the ensuing backlash from foreign observers, rather than on other aspects of the match.
