Should be deeply ashamed. I simply don’t buy it – he knew exactly what he was doing. As a professional footballer he must be held accountable for his actions and so must FIFA if it wants to retain any semblance of credibility. If FIFA lets the France-Ireland result stand then the spirit of football is truly dead and FIFA’s codes of conduct are clearly waste of time. I grew up loving football but the money and crass governance has destroyed the game.
