Jarell Quansah has far worse memories of England's famous World Cup win in Mexico than most, with the red-carded defender determined to learn from his "horrible" evening at the Azteca.
The versatile 23-year-old started at right-back against the co-hosts in July's pulsating last-16 tie, but his match came to a premature end when he was sent off early in the second half following a VAR review.

Quansah's clumsy tackle meant he nervously had to watch Thomas Tuchel's men hang on for a memorable 3-2 win from the dressing room, with FIFA's surprising two-match ban only compounding the hurt.
"Yeah, it was horrible," the England defender said of that night in Mexico City. "It was a hard one, obviously went into the tackle quite fast, so a bit unlucky to end up the way it did.
"And being inside watching the team pull through was gut-wrenching, but an unbelievable moment as well. It was tough.
"And obviously the two-game ban wasn't ideal as well, it was tough for me in that period. But something I can learn from of course."
Quansah's ban meant he could not feature until the final weekend, but the semifinal implosion against Argentina meant his return came in the chaotic 6-4 third place playoff win against France.
The way things ended in America sticks in the craw of the adaptable Bayer Leverkusen defender, who started three of England's four autumn fixtures as they reconvened 10 weeks on from the World Cup.
"There's always stuff you can learn from," Quansah said. "You're not just going to move on and forget about stuff.
"Obviously it hurts so much, it's not easy to get over, something like that and it's not been too long after. I feel like we've put together a few performances now where we've fully gone for games and not tried to sit back, that's what we wanted to do in this camp.
"I think we've shown that, we've shown how aggressive and dominant we can be against top nations in a tough group. There's a lot more to come, we want to keep learning, keep improving and go from there."
England are all but assured of progress to March's Nations League quarterfinals after bouncing back from the loss to world champions Spain with three straight wins.
Quansah impressed at right-back in Saturday's 7-0 win in Croatia and was solid at centre-back in Tuesday's 3-0 victory at home to Czechia.
"Really good," he said of his central start. "I feel like it's probably my favourite position to play, to be honest, I love playing there.
"I've played there since I was probably 10 or 11 years old, so it was nice to be back there. Something different as well with England. It was nice to be able to do it at Wembley."
Quansah's start there allowed former Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold, back from the international wilderness, another chance to shine at right-back.
"I think it's quite obvious," he said of their differences.
"I feel like I can bring a lot of power down the side and Trent is so good at picking teams off from right-back in his position with his passing. We're very different.
"Different games, different teams, require different players. I've played with him so long, it's nice to be back out there with him and [he's an] outstanding player."
