The decision of the FFF Disciplinary Commission to impose sanctions on players like Yann M’Vila received strong reactions on social media and from football analysts.

Pierre Menès criticized the “grotesque sanction” and suggested potential consequences like players opting to play for other countries.

Willy Sagnol expressed concern about M’Vila’s surroundings and urged him to clean up to have a successful career. Luis Fernandez saw the sanctions as a necessary lesson for players to understand the importance of discipline, emphasizing that players in the French team should act responsibly.
