France, FIFA and Michael Olise
After France beat Paraguay
France have asked FIFA to rescind Michael Olise’s yellow card from the World Cup last-16 win over Paraguay. The Bayern Munich playmaker is now one booking away from a suspension if France reach the semi-finals.
The FFF believes replays show Matias Galarza exaggerated contact after Olise tugged his shirt. The appeal follows FIFA’s Balogun ruling, which has encouraged federations to challenge disciplinary calls despite the tournament’s usual strict limits and procedures.
