The French Football Federation will appeal Oliseh's yellow card from the match against Paraguay.

The French Football Federation is considering appealing the yellow card received by forward Michael Obi during France's World Cup round-of-16 match against Paraguay, which ended in a 1:0 victory for France. The card was shown in the seventh minute of added time for a challenge involving Paraguay's midfielder Matias Galarraga. The French team believes the decision might have been incorrect, especially after FIFA overturned the red card given to American player Folarin Balogun before his team's match against Belgium. If Obi receives another yellow card in subsequent matches, he would be suspended for the semifinals. France is set to face Morocco in the quarterfinals on July 9 in Boston.
