    They should send Raymond Domenech home instead.

    He said what everyone wanted to say. Considering how quiet Anelka is, this speaks volumes of what a shit job Domenech is doing.

    He's pretty damn quiet at Chelsea.......

    Sorry to be ignorant, but I really know nothing of the French team.

    and now Evra is saying that there's a traitor among the group and he wants to know who it was. apparently he isnt too pleased that a team mate went and told the media about the events at halftime. boohoo. :rolleyes:

    Well , it's natural for a mercenary to not create problems when it's Chelsea who pays his wages ...

    That is even more funny, because just before half time, Toulalan is forced to sacrifice for the team and take a yellow card, because of Anelka's big mistake.

    Now Toulalan is suspended. I would have expected Toulalan to take the piss, not Anelka.

    Evra is a school kid, like his mates.

    I'm really glad we don't have this drama in the U.S. side, everyone seems to have the same mindset. Unfortunate for the French because they have a lot of talent.

    the whole team should go home and forfeit the game against south africa. That would be the best thing they can do but wont

    We'd better laugh about it.

    Did you see the sketch of Roland Courbis, taking the voice of a mafioso "we are looking for the traitor", "Anelka is coming home with dignity"... Hahaha that's exactly how it looked :D

    From 13'55 : Courbis

    So you have the French fans, living in France BTW, acknowledging a major factor is the players. And some people from the US focusing only on the manager.

    Noted. ;)

    you mean players should have more say so on who to play than the coach?
    it's not his place, anelka clearly out of his element there, and the part of the french team that supports him are also way over their head.

    I was going to say exactly that. It's too bad because I really would like to see Toulalan play tomorrow. :(
