Chicken and Duck Talk
France, the 1998 World Cup champions and 2006 finalists were humiliated in this year's World Cup 2010, losing to Mexico and South Africa whilst drawing to Uruguay.While being booted out of the Cup in the first stage is embarrasing enough, the way the French side handled the pressure and crumbled, no, disintegrated into a rabble of over- paid eogtistical "pot calling the kettle black" bunch of losers. Its sad that a team filled with talent from the likes of Franck Ribery, Anelka, Patrick Evra and Thierry Henry can mutiny and cause so much shame and embarrassment to their country. Lets get the following facts right.
They are paid millions of Euros playing for the top clubs in Europe, and with sponsors paying millions for the World Cup.
They are first class athletes and have loads of footballing talent
They are multimillionaires, Thierry Henry can afford his own private jet.
They are coached by a Raymond Domenech who handled their Euro 2008 campaign equally disastrously
Les Blur not Les Bleu
Things which they did totally wrong :
1. They let their egos get the better of them. This is a team game, everyone has to work together and sink or swim.
No one is bigger than the team, they forgot that. Anelka for one, and Viera was the mastermind.
2. Raymond Domenech was called obscene names and even though he may be hated by certain elements of the squad, he
MUST command the respect of the team. Coach or Manager's decision is FINAL. No further questions till after the World Cup.
These are millionaire professionals, surely they must understand respect ??
3. They did not show good sportsmanship, refusing to train for the final match against South Africa (which they lost 2-1) and
the coach/manager did not even want to shake hands with the opposing manager. Terrible behavior from the manager of a
supposed 'top team'.
4. Sir Alex Furgeson said that the team 'downed tools' just before the match with South Africa. He singled Patricce Evra as the
mastermind. There are certain priorities in life. God, Country, Family, Work, Friends,and so forth. What were these overpaid
monkeys thinking ?
Shame.
