Raymond drops 'stupid' seniors
France coach Raymond Domenech described the French players' refusal to train in protest of Nicolas Anelka's expulsion as 'unspeakably stupid'.
"We tried to convince the players that what was happening was irregular, that their actions were unspeakably stupid. I told myself this masquerade had to be stopped. No way would I back this action."
Under-fire Domenech promptly dropped Patrice Evra, Florent Malouda, Sidney Govou and Eric Abidal for the crunch South Africa game.
