France U18 pick up FOUR red cards as match with Poland abandoned after horror tackle and headbutt
FRANCE U18’s match against Poland has been ABANDONED after the side were reduced to seven men.
Saint-Etienne youngster Darnell Bile saw the final red for a horror tackle and nasty headbutt.
Bile, 16, was sent off in the final straw for the visitors and a huge scrum took place afterwards.
As it was the hosts FOURTH dismissal, the referee was forced to scrap the remainder of the game and award Poland the win.
French youth players ilyes Housni, Jeanuel Belocian and Malang Gomis were all sent off in the 55th, 61st and 72nd minutes respectively.
Then it was finally cancelled in the 74th minute at Limoges during the Lafarge Foot Avenir Tournament showcase, with the Eagles 3-2 up.

The Polish winger had the ball by the touchline.
Bile scythed him down with both feet in the air.
When the opposition player bumped chests with the French youngster, he proceeded to thrust his head into his face.
Bernard Diomede, the France U18 boss, failed to calm his players and the game was lost.

Meanwhile, France men’s superstar striker Kylian Mbappe admitted he enjoys more freedom playing for the national team.
That’s because he plays alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi at club level for Paris Saint-Germain.
The forward, 22, scored in France’s 2-0 win over Austria on Thursday evening.
Mbappe said: “I play differently. I am asked other things here in relation to my club. I have a lot more freedom here.
“The coach knows that there is a number nine like Olivier [Giroud] who occupies the defences and I can walk around and go into space.
“In Paris, it’s different, there isn’t that. I am asked to do the pivot, it is different.”
