GSDad... I have to say that it is very likely that nothing will happen to the result and France will be in South Africa. When you look at the incident many people point out the world cup qualifier in 2005 (see excerpt)
The Bahrain Vs Uzbekistan Incident
"Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam has expressed regret over FIFA's decision to replay the Uzbekistan-Bahrain 2006 World Cup finals qualifier play-off.
FIFA ordered the match, which Uzbekistan won 1-0 on September 3 in Tashkent, to be replayed because of a "technical error" by Japanese referee Toshimitsu Yoshida.
Yoshida ruled out a penalty scored by Server Djeparov because of encroachment in the area by a Uzbek team-mate but crucially did not allow them to retake the penalty and awarded a freekick to Bahrain.
"Uzbekistan had been penalised twice and the winning side had become the victims. It was an unfortunate and serious error by Japanese referee Toshimitsu Yoshida," Hammam said in a statement."
"The Laws of the Game state.. The decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored and the result of the match, are final."
The main difference then it was an error of a technical call in a dead ball situation and 100% attributable to the referee.
Here on the other hand it was in the run ofplay and what you state becomes the truth. If you do not see it is it a foul?
3 billion people saw the hand of god in 1986 but the 3 that mattered did not. That call in my opinion was considerably more difficult.
In this specific case however, I believe the referee and particularly the AR should both be given sanctions. After all these are professionals and are paid to see these things. Two calls were missed in the same play that is inexcusable.
In the end, as the saying goes... you should never put yourself in a position where a call (or non call) determines the outcome of the game.
