Football: France-Germany friendly affected by Paris attacks
This morning's deadly attacks in Paris are also resonating through the football world.
Its believed at least two of the attackers attempted to storm the French National Stadium in Paris on Friday evening while France was hosting an international friendly against Germany.
Spectators, which included French President Francois Hollande, heard a pair of loud explosions during the first half of the match, followed by wailing police sirens.
The match did continue, with France winning 2-nil.
However, the 2nd half of the match was overshadowed as people inside the stadium began to get word of what was taking place outside.
Around 2-thousand people remained after the match on the pitch, afraid to leave the National Stadium.
The attacks came just hours after the German team had to be evacuated from their hotel because of a bomb threat, though its not clear if that incident is related to the deadly violence in Paris.

Next door in Spain, where the Spanish side dumped England 2-nil in another of 10 the international friendlies last night, word of the attack also filtered through after the match.
Spanish head coach Vicente del Bosque.
"I don't know the details. But the events were appalling. It is terrible that they could seize football to commit such a horrid thing. I feel sad for what happened in France today."
So far FIFA has not said whether the attacks in Paris will have any affect on schedules or security at football venues.
