Hi guys, I don't know how many of you have been watching the worldcup, for the first time since 94 I have just watched a few games and got my eyes on the French team. I have to say that these higly paid players have made themselves looks like idiots, not only on the pitch and because of their really poor demonstration (0-0 against Uruguay, 0-2 agaist Mexico and 1-2 against South Africa) but also by their behaviour outside the pitch. I don't know if you have heard of it but after the game agains Mexico some franch players went on "strike", well that doesn't surprise anyone, but this is the first time ever that a team refuse to train and as a conclusion, the all team didn't train, the fitness coach decided to leave and because of French Footbal National Assistant Manager (2nd man behind the big boss) also left his position. This was not finished as 2 players refused to take parts of the last game. Some players are saying the the time to tell the true storie behind that big mess is not there yet but it will come, on top the all thing has become political, ministers and such people are though to be very upset with that. French Captain, Patrick Evra said on TV: No player will accept bonuses for that world cup, not from the french fotball federation and sponsors.... sponsors who have decided to stop ads just after the disaster against Mexico. I ll try to keep you updated
This world cup is over for them sometimes they perform really well and sometimes they just play so poor like this time they did.
For the first time, in the World Cup, the last Champion and the 2nd place team, are out of the game, in the group's stage... And what about that ???
As a pundit was saying on TV during the game, many european teams have had some problems in this group stage and it was about time to bring fresh young players and new tactics
French is soft. Get out of the way so some real teams can put out an effort for the World Cup. Embarassing....
All world Cups have seen their own set of upsets...but this is the big one. Has it ever happened in the World Cup history that both the reigning Champion and the first runner-up got eliminated in the first round itself? Regards, RightMan
When you think that France get themselves qualified for the world cup final stage by beating ireland 1-0 with goal that should be disallowed: the hand of good thierry henry version
Well for those are not regular football watcher this things looks new for them but people like us who watch all time, feels it's normal as I have seen such a things at Club level often but surly this is not good for France team and I think FFF should take some strict action against players who created such a problem as they work hard to qualify WC even doing cheating in qualifying round against NI but waste their opportunity! Can way say "France got what they did against Northern Ireland"?
Too bad ... after so many problems and incidents in France team, most of the players act like street gangs than a professional football players
True, This whole story is just pathetic from most of the team players. Apparantly they did all agree with what happen in South Africa
Yes and I think it will be good for future of French football, it's right time to sacked some of so called big players from team and bring youth talent! I can't see any reason why Karim Benzema is out from team!
