So he went home a few days ahead of the rest... And got to insult Domenech. I guess it was worth it.

Reports from in the French footy federation say he'll never play for France again, so there was more at stake than that. He was asked to play on the right in the 2nd half as Domenech was bringing on another striker- appaz he lost it, and said some pretty disgusting things. There are reasons why Anelka has, despite his talent, ended up in lowly clubs along the way. Because he's an utter wab.

He called the boss a son of a whore.

I can't help but agree with Anelka, He should have been willing to play on the right wing though.
 
According to French TV, he said 'Fuck off, you dirty son of a whore', or words to that effect.

I'm not sure you can pin all the blame on Anelka for this though. Domenech has clearly lost the team in a really big way. Emmanuel Petit, who is admittedly mates with Anelka, essentially implied it was the manager's fault for being such a twat.

Anyway, at least there's one team in an even worse state than England, eh?
 
Anelka was shit though, and looked as if he couldn't be arsed. At one stage he took a free kick from at least 35 yards, and with his hands on his hips tried to side foot it in after stepping up to it very slowly. It hit the wall and he just stayed there with his hands on his hips.
 
World Cup 2010: Nicolas Anelka sent home over coach row


France striker Nicolas Anelka has been sent home from the World Cup after verbally insulting coach Raymond Domenech during the Mexico game.

The Chelsea star missed training on Saturday after reports of a row with the France coach during their 2-0 loss.

And he later refused to apologise when asked to by French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes.

An FFF statement said the 31-year-old's half-time comments to Domenech were "totally unacceptable".

The statement continued: "Faced by the refusal of the player to publicly apologise, he (Escalettes) took the decision in total agreement with the coach and the official members of the delegation present to exclude Nicolas Anelka from the squad."

The FFF said that France captain Patrice Evra also attended the meeting with Anelka at the French training camp in Knysa.

Anelka, a League and FA Cup double winner with Chelsea this season, has won 71 international caps.

He scored twice on his debut against England in 1999 but later spent three years in the international wilderness after refusing to play for Les Bleus under coach Jacques Santini.

606: DEBATE
Were France right to send Anelka home?

Domenech brought Anelka back into the fold in 2005 but left him out of France's for the World Cup in Germany the following year.

It was only a temporary omission from the squad and Anelka scored in the first leg of qualifying play-off against the Republic of Ireland last November when France secured their place in South Africa.

He was also in the starting line-up for both of France's Group A games but failed to hit the net in the 0-0 draw with Uruguay and the loss to Mexico.

France's poor start to the competition has left their hopes of qualification from Group A out of their hands.

There were reports earlier in the week that Domenech had also had a training ground bust-up with midfielder Florent Malouda.

And the team has been urged to show greater dignity for the remainder of the tournament.

French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot said in a statement: "The very high pressure weighing on Les Bleus does not authorise any form of slip-up.

"The players must keep in mind that they're wearing France's colours and are considered as role models by many youngsters.

"This obliges them to show restraint and dignity."

If Mexico and Uruguay draw in their final match France will be eliminated.

They were probably right to send him home. Bet Domenech has realised how foolish it was to leave out Benzema, Ben Arfa and Nasri now.
 
Good on him. Glad someone told Domench how fukcing crap he is, and what a horible manager he has been.

Not playing someone because their sign is aquarius. Hmm.
 
Anelka has been absolutely woeful, but Domanech has been worse.

Which club will give him a job after this?|

Oh God, I just had a nightmarish vision...
 
Regardless of how stupid or poor the coach is perceived to be, Anelka has further cemented his legacy as a problem player, damaged his brand, and not behaved like any reasonable adult. The french aren't a particularly likable group.
 
Anelka hasn't been in trouble in England for what, 8 years. I think the problem child thing is a bit old and quite untrue tbh.

Even Evra was out today, the captain, and said they had a traitor in the team, and he didn't mean Anelka..

Yeah, Petit said the same thing: that it was one of the players who'd talked to the papers, not Domenech himself.

My money's on Henry.

France squad refuse to train


Evra: Involved in row

France's World Cup crisis has taken a new twist after the squad refused to train on Sunday

Les Bleus have found themselves in disarray on and off the pitch in South Africa with Nicolas Anelka being sent home from the tournament after a bust-up with coach Raymond Domenech.

There have also been rumours of discontent between several members of the squad with skipper Patrice Evra accusing a 'traitor' of leaking out news of Anelka's outburst to the French media.

The French are facing elimination at the first hurdle even if they beat South Africa in their final game as a draw between Uruguay and Mexico will send the 2006 runners-up packing.

To make matters worse France team director Jean-Louis Valentin has claimed the national team is refusing to train following a dispute on the practice field.

The team arrived at training on Sunday, but the session was halted after a row between captain Patrice Evra and fitness coach Robert Duverne.

Domenech had to move in to separate the pair and soon after the incident the players then left the pitch and boarded the team bus

Valentin also revealed he has resigned from the French football federation, shouting he was "ashamed" of the team.

"I am disgusted, I am quitting my post," said Valentin.


HAHA

Good to see Irelands place at the World Cup been made good use of. Fuck you Platini.
[/quote]

Platini will be looking a right tool. Shame!!!

Footballers nowadays are obviously a right bunch of primadonna tarts expecting everything to be their own way and people to bend over backwards for them.

The England team are gonna have their moan to Capello tonight because they arent happy with things.

Well fuck them!! They were the ones out on that pitch against fucking Algeria and didnt do a fucking thing. Not one of them played well or anywhere near their capability. Capello cant do that for them and its got fuck all to do with the system. They grew up playing 442 for fucks sake. If they cant play that system, then they have no chance.
