Anelka on the plane home!

[hornetrider]

Asked to play on the right wing at half time, refused and cussed out Domenech big time apparently.

Will never play for France again his reaction was so bad!

[tonym911]

Well, not until the next manager comes in anyway. Then I expect it will be all pals together again.

Nope. This has come from the French Federation not the manager.

"Va te faire enculer sal fils de pute!" is what he said to the coach roughly translated "Go fk yourself dirty son of a we".
My personal opinion is the guy is talented, never lost it before with the Chelsea manager, felt he was being snubbed by the most hated manager in France, and lost his cool with him.
Melouda had a confrontation with this incompetent manager just a few weeks ago.
Luckily for France this poor excuse for a football manager will quit after this world cup.
99% of France will be glad to see his back.

They're on strike effectively - so could the England squad be if it all goes tits up tonight at this meeting.

[MiniMan64]

And you think we're having a bad World Cup, bloody hell, the established teams are having a shocker! Has an international team ever imploded so spectacularly at an international tournement?

[The Hypno-Toad]

Just saw the video. As I've just said on another thread if I was the French FA I'd be packing them all up and putting them on the plane. I thought our bunch were primadonnas, disgraceful.

What about when they went out in the group stages a few years back?

They were just rubbish on the field though, they weren't all trying to kill each other off the field were they?

How can a team fail so badly, then get to the Final, then horribly fail again another 4 years later!

The responsibilty lies with the ever so unpopular France manager who effectively is a real to$$pot.
His decisions, selections, team formation is the reason behind poor performance as you stated.
They have capable players, but not a capable team, and Raymond dominique is draining the players on all levels.Morale is low, and his response was something lame and stupid like:
"What do you expect? We only see a ZIDANE once or twice a century in the history of French football!"
Talk about an idiot in charge is putting it politely TBH. I have no idea what his motivation is like since he's leaving after this world cup.
Why on earth would you put talented players in the hands of someone you intend to hand him his P45 (after the world cup) is beyond me.
Like you said... only in France!

ETA: Oh and Mr Bruni is going to get involved now in saving France from disaster.He must have seen the Batman sign on the dark clouds above the Eiffel tower somewhere.
