The France national football team is currently under pressure after the match against Senegal. The referee of the match, Alireza Faghani, is in the eye of the storm after his decision not to whistle a penalty for the foul on Kylian Mbappé. This decision has sparked a lot of debate and has been very poorly received by the referees' committee. Faghani, who is attached to the Australian federation during the World Cup, is considered a traitor in Iran, the country of his origin. And he has been notably placarded on a poster where he is seen with Gianni Infantino and Donald Trump with a medal replaced by a potato. The whole thing is accompanied by the text « congratulations on your medal, traitor » reported by several media including the Indian Express. So Faghani's decision could have consequences for the rest of the tournament. But it is important to note that the referees' committee has not yet made an official decision. The France national football team must now focus on their next match and try to forget this controversy. In fact, the match against Senegal was very disputed and the players must now recharge to face their next opponent. And with the presence of players like Kylian Mbappé, the France national football team has the means to succeed in this tournament.
