Fifa always talks about fair play.. there has been no fair play yesterday. The game should definitely be replayed.

Really, this isn't the way it should happen at all. I'm sorry for you all, as your team played with heart and will and should have got a better outcome. I understand your anger. It doesn't help to say that all teams once in history have all things against them (yes, it also happened to us for example against Germany in the 80's. Really, the FIFA should do something about video and referees, as these mistakes are not going to disappear I'm afraid. I hope you do not judge all french people by this game, because belive me, many of us today feel ashamed, and of course very disappointed with our team. Frightened football players have nothing to do in a World Cup. But I know you've something beautiful going on, and you'll surely get even better and I wish you all luck for the Euro qualifiers. Hi,
