Summary
France have formally requested FIFA to overturn Michael Olise's yellow card received during a World Cup match against Paraguay. The booking came after an altercation with Matias Galarza, who fell holding his face, though replays showed Olise only grabbed his shirt. France argues the card was unjust and could impact their campaign, as another caution for Olise would result in a suspension. This follows FIFA's recent decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's ban, setting a precedent for France's appeal.
