FIFA have rejected France's request to have their disallowed injury time goal against Tunisia overturned after falling to defeat in their final group stage clash. Antoine Griezmann thought he had scored a late equaliser for Les Bleus in a much changed side, having qualified for the last-16 already at that point.
The reigning world champions stuttered though as Wahbi Khazri gave Tunisia the lead in a must-win game for his nation. It appeared as though those hopes of finishing second were finished in cruel fashion by a late finish, but that was ruled out, though Australia's win over Denmark meant they succumbed to third place.
However, in bizarre fashion, the French Football Federation (FFF) put in a request to have that disallowed goal overturned again after an apparent mistake in the officiating. The initial decision was ruled out due to Griezmann being called as offside, despite the fact that defender Montassar Talbi headed the ball before it landed to the Atletico Madrid forward.
