Didier Dallo fined for comments about France’s match against Paraguay

  • Didier Dallo was fined for comments made about France ahead of their match in the 1/8 finals against Paraguay.
  • Dallo published his remarks on social media, which he said were prompted by a quote from Kristof Dugarry about “a command from Africa.”
  • France won their match against Paraguay 1-0; the result was confirmed after VAR review.

President of the French Football Federation, Didier Dallo, was fined for comments made about France before their 1/8 final match against Paraguay, which he said were based on.

In the remarks, Dallo wrote that the match’s outcome was influenced by a national team command from France that, as he put it, was driven by the phrase, “command from Africa.” In the end, he said, the match was decided by the best team.

Dallo wrote: “Kristof, you’re right. In 1998, you were with France, but I saw PY say against the command from Africa.” “Given the material, Dallo said, Dugarry told me that in 1998, France beat Paraguay 1-0 with a goal.”

The material also states that Frenchman Kylian Mbappé and Usman Dembele, who, according to Dallo, were warned, are from Africa. It also says that France won the match 1-0.

Following the match, one more remark was made, preventing France in the 1/8 finals from avoiding a penalty against Kylian Mbappé after VAR review. The reason was that the ball was played from a position between the teams’ players, and the match ended with a score of 1-0.
