France Launches Appeal To Rescind Michael Olise Yellow Card

The French Football Federation has appealed to FIFA to rescind Michael Olise's yellow card, leaving the Bayern Munich star one booking away from a suspension ahead of the quarter-finals.

Olise was booked in the last-16 win over Paraguay following an altercation with Matias Galarza. The FFF views the booking as an officiating error and hopes to replicate the recent success of the USMNT's Folarin Balogun. xsportfeed.quest

Should Olise receive another booking in Thursday's match against Morocco, he would miss a potential semi-final. The winger currently tops the World Cup assist charts with five, making his availability crucial for Les Bleus.
