France Coach Deschamps Says Olise's Yellow Card Appeal Fails Before World Cup Matchup with Morocco
- On Wednesday, FIFA dismissed an appeal from the French Football Federation to rescind Michael Olise's yellow card, head coach Didier Deschamps confirmed at a news conference.

- Mbappe branded Amarilla a 'despicable woman' following Paraguay's defeat, though Deschamps stated the striker 'is a very strong guy mentally and physically' and 'focused on tomorrow's game.
