Most professional footballers have never had to deal with the little-known rule of the match being abandoned because of four players from the same team sent off.

This is why it necessarily marks the spirits to see the France U18 team bow in this way, this Sunday at the international tournament of Limoges.

Les Bleuets, coached by 1998 world champion Bernard Diomède, nevertheless led 2-1 against Poland after 25 minutes of play, in their final match of the competition.

Huge tackle and header

The Poles reversed the meeting (2-3) in the second period, during which the tricolors gradually lost their nerves.

Ilyes Housni (55th), Jeanuël Belocian (60th), Yoni Gomis (72nd) then Darnell Bile (75th) were indeed all four expelled in the space of twenty minutes.


Surreal scene between France and Poland in U18.

😳



While THREE Blueberries were already excluded, Darnell Bile lost his nerves and was also excluded… 🙄



Reduced to 7, the France team could not finish the match… 😤

Attacking ASSE, the last excluded even chained the huge tackle with both feet off, then headbutted his Polish victim.

No doubt a tribute to the “Crazy Gang” led by Vinnie Jones at Wimbledon.
