Anelka getting sent home

I feel so ashamed! I've rarely hated a team as much as I hate the French team now. Domenech and the players and the French FA are to blame!
I wish they'd apologize to the Irish people and the Irish national team. Not only do they steal their qualification from the irish, but to show this in the World cup? I'd give every single one of them a rope if I could!

Anelka, Ribery, Evra, Gallas... They gave nothing! Peanuts! And now they have the guts (evra and Ribery) to talk about a traitor?? Is that a big Feckin joke???!!

Hey Evra and Ribery! Don't look any further! You are the traitors! You're the ones not fit to wear any jersey, let alone the France one!

I've worn my France jesrey on every single day France was playing, but I can tell you I won't wear it against South Africa, and I will cheer for the Africans. Let them give us a good spanking, and let all those over paid prima-donna's go home, without an interview, without a single comment from any of them, because trsut me when I say that there are very few French left who want to hear this bunch of c*nts!

Thank god I'm half dutch, so I can still watch Holland and remember what winning is like. Hollanf not playing their best football so far, but at least they win!

When we'll leave this WC it's gonna be boring! :lol:


EDIT:
Evra (french captain) yesterday in press conference "the problem isn't Anelka, the problem is the traitor in the group"

Ribery this morning on french tv almost crying:

Vince could you give us a brief rundown of what franc ribery was saying there please.
It looked like he was really really hurting ther.And in 7 minutes not ONE word from his manager..DISGRACEFUL Domenech disgraceful
Actually Ribery wasn't expected at this show. He refused to talk to the press, and he wasn't invited so it was a big surprise. And once he arrived, they let him speak.

He said he (and all the squad) was hurt by what the press said (the fight against Gourcuff in the plane, that he forced Domenech to put Gourcuff on the bench, etc ...). That's why he doen't speak to the french press anymore, because since 2008, they never talk about football but about other stories. Everybody in the whole world is laughing at us because of what the press says. He said he was upset when Anelka left, he had tears in his eyes, and he doesn't understand how this story came to the press.
Finally, at the end, he was apologizing to all the french people for the performances, he admitted the team had exploded, but there's still one game to play and it's a matter of honor to win it.

Another clash at the training ground!
Evra and Robert Duverne (Fitness Coach) had a fight during todays trainning session. Domenech had to separate them! The training session has been cancelled, some people from the french federation decide to quit.

The players refused to train, they support Anelka and they are against the decision took by the federation. It's a mutiny of the players against the staff and the federation. When Evra went to tell the Fitness Coach they didn't want to train, there was a big argument, and Robert Duverne was very angry, he said "this time it's over" and he threw his chronometer.
Then, all the players went in the coach, and Domenech read a statement written by the players, saying they'll do their best to win against SA, but they are boycotting this training session.

It was very different, there was no argument, it was just talk between the players (Vieira, Thuram, Makelele and Zidane) and Domenech.

Is there a racial problem?

Black vs White?

Or is there any problem to do with Muslim players?

Or is it clash of age?

Or just of egos?

spot on...
it s a racial and religious problem...

but no one wants to admit it...
domenech already knew about those problems and try to contain them by not choosing any player with algerian roots(benzema,ben arfa,nasri)...
but it wasnt enough...the muslim players started bullying the white ones...
and now you see the result of it all...
i love le vivre ensemble... :lol:
