And they are going home! After what can only be called A Debacle of Epic Proportions, the once-glorified, once World Cup Runners-Up, once a good team - now bad, French World Cup Football club - Les Bleus - are going home after failing THE FIRST ROUND.
The French Coach has been dubbed "Crazy Ray" and has literally driven his players off the field.
1) Coach Raymond Domenech used astrology to pick his team. That we can let go. Screw it.
2) Then, he left top players – including Arsenal’s Samir Nasri and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema – at home - not to even play in South Africa. WTF?
3) A halftime locker room argument between Domenech and Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka ended with Anelka being sent home after France's 2-0 loss against Mexico. Again WTF? Coaches and players fight all the time, but wha? He sent who, where, why?
Philosopher Alain Finkielkraut said Anelka's infamous outburst was symptomatic of a "hooligan culture that has gripped the nation." It must have been bad. It wasn't profanity laced - it was profanity based - with other words thrown in for fun.
4) Anelka's teammates later refused to practice in protest. The French Resistance!
5) Before Tuesday’s game, Crazy Ray benched star defender Patrice Evra AND stripped him of his captain’s armband. Is it possible to bench a Coach?
6) Domenech also benched several other star players at this time. What a great coach! He's really in touch with his players feelings.
7) It was around this time that the French conditioning coach, AND French Football Federation Director Jean-Louis Valentin QUIT. Take that Coach Crazy!
8) French team loses first round at World Cup!
