The simultaneous terror assaults on Paris were
"cowardly attacks" of "inhumanity",said the German
Football Association (DFB).
The German Football Association (DFB) has condemned the
"inhumanity" of the "cowardly attacks" that struck Paris on
Friday night.
Latest figures from French officials report 128 people were killed
and another 99 remain critical after what appeared to be co-
ordinated terror acts in the French capital, including three
fatalities outside the Stade de France during Germany's 2-0
international friendly defeat to France.
A blast was heard during the match and players and supporters
were kept inside the stadium long after the final whistle.
Joachim Low's team spent the night inside the Stade de France
before flying safely back to Frankfurt on Saturday.
A statement released by the DFB read: "We came to Paris to do
what connects us all - to play football, together, against one
another and in friendship. To have an enjoyable evening
together with our fans, to show sporting ambition, but
particularly we came for a fair and peaceful encounter.
"We all looked forward to playing in the Stade de France, to have
a great night of football, which ended up turning into a
nightmare.
"It was a dull bang, which changed everything. It produced
pictures that will remain in our heads for a long time. We spent
the night doing a lot of thought-processing.
"We asked ourselves why something like this could happen?
How is such inhumanity even possible? There were a lot of
answers, but none that could explain these cowardly attacks.
"We lost a game of football on Friday evening. But nothing is as
irrelevant as that right now."
The DFB is scheduled to meet with the Dutch Football
Association later on Saturday to decide whether Germany's
friendly against Netherlands in Hannover on Tuesday will go
ahead.
