Nobody from a position of authority, be it political or at FIFA, can go in and actually rescind the red card. voice-verified

All you can do... voice-verified

theoretically under article 27 of the FIFA bylaws is suspend the suspension. voice-verified

Theoretically, he's got to serve this at some point. voice-verified

He just doesn't have to serve it tonight. voice-verified

Well, is that not the same thing? voice-verified

Here's the kicker. voice-verified

You knew that this was going to open a Pandora's box. voice-verified

And it has, according to the athletic Adam Crafton this morning, the French football Federation has now appealed to FIFA to rescind a yellow card given to Michael Olise in their round of 16 win over Paraguay. voice-verified

Now, the reason for this is that a yellow card was handed out during the match. voice-verified

Yellow cards are not reviewable on video, but upon replay, it's pretty clear that what was thought to be a strike to the face of the Paraguayan player was not. voice-verified

The referee missed it. voice-verified

Olise grabbed the jersey. voice-verified

And what the French are saying is that we want that yellow card rescinded now in the event that he picks up another one and now would be forced to miss an important match. voice-verified

I think that this is more performative than anything else. voice-verified

I'm not suggesting the French are putting on an act, but I think putting forth this appeal is more about, hey, you've opened the Pandora's box. voice-verified

We're just following suit. voice-verified

They're poking the bear a little bit. voice-verified

A little bit. voice-verified

Now, I know that UEFA has put together a statement condemning this suspension of the suspension. voice-verified
