is down the drain.... I think team mutiny instead of unity is uncalled for at this stage.

They should go down fighting.

thats sad ..i support them ..

"In their first two matches, France drew 0-0 with Uruguay and then lost 2-0 to Mexico. France can still advance to the round of 16 with a win over host South Africa, as long as Uruguay and Mexico don't draw in the other Group A match."

KNYSNA, South Africa – A day after a player was sent home for insulting the coach, France team director Jean-Louis Valentin said the

World Cup team is refusing to train following a dispute on the practice field.

Valentin also said he has resigned from the

French football federation, saying he was fed up.

"It's a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It's a scandal for the federation and the French team," Valentin said. "They don't want to train. It's unacceptable.
