France file complaint to FIFA over disallowed Griezmann goal - www.asempanews.com

France have filed a complaint to FIFA over the decision to disallow Antoine Griezmann’s late goal in Wednesday’s shock 1-0 World Cup loss to Tunisia.

However, after the celebrations had died down, referee Michael Conger ruled out Griezmann’s goal for an offside infringement.

However, the French Football Federation (FFF) believe the officials were wrong to disallow the goal as play had already restarted when VAR intervened, which is prohibited.

“We are writing a complaint after Antoine Griezmann’s goal was, in our opinion, wrongly disallowed,” said a widely released statement from the FFF on Wednesday.

“This complaint has to be filed within 24 hours after the final whistle.”
