What is happening to French Football team? Now there is a player revolt?

ram_cv, Honestly, this is not the only misconduct incident as far as the French team is concern. Since the last 2 world cup tournaments there had been a lot of bickering amongst team members or team members and the coach but things just remain in the dirty closets of the changing room. I feel the appointment of Anelka is just Coach Domanech's mistake for this player had all along been a controversial choice and if you could recall this striker was actually left out in previous tournaments including the prestigious Euro Cup. I was actually quite surprise to see him featured this year and now this. As in my other post, I was actually seeking that the international body like FIFA will intervene and end this misery of all coaches by concluding his prospective career as far as the game soccer is concern. He is just bring the game and himself to disrepute. The coach was basically right to criticized him for his sub par performance in the first half where he was literally a let down to the team with his play. As his vice captain had quoted: "He was actually walking around in a world tournament match!" I feel that having one less bane in this sport is better than to tolerate his nuances and spoil brat attitude. I am sure there are other better players in the field.

Anelka is one of the most experienced, if not THE most experienced player in the Premier League! Surely if anyone's got a valid opinion, it's him! Manager's a joke.

The French are not the bravest of nations and this could be them venting their frustration at themselves and trying to intimidate the referees due to their name and stigma. Fact is someone needs to take responsibility, this is a tragic world cup for them and rivals that a few years back when they returned to defend their cup and failed to score even a single goal(having lost the first game to Senegal and then drawing). If France want their great team back they need to focus on the youth Like Malouda and remind them such behavior is not right! Now lets hope South Africa can beat them and Mexico lose to Uruguay so the hosts can go through ;)

It does seem like a strrange time to revolt. The French still have a chance of qualifying and so would think to train as hard as possible to give them the best chance to get through the group. Nikolas Anelka has always seemed to sulk or moan when things are not going his way and i would think that they would be a better team with Henry or Cisse playing in stead. The world cup only comes around every 4 years so quite a lot of these players will not get the chance to appear in another one. It all seems a bit strange to me.

The French Football Association should have sacked Domenech long time ago. Why are they still sticking to him, it is anybody's guess. While Anelka had a chequered past, I think he is right for refusing to apologise to the coach for his half time tirade. Domenech just does not have the capability to lead a nation team especially with one that have such big ego. Anyway, France should not be in the finals after the facade against Ireland in the playoff. It is football karma that they should be booking their return air ticket after the group stage.
