Agreed.

At this world cup, if there was no one lanager it would be the same.

France is went to final only thanks to Zidane (mainly) and -Makelele-Thuram-Viera.

France striker Nicolas Anelka has confirmed his retirement from the international game having being handed an 18-match ban by the French Football Federation for his antics at the World Cup.

Anelka has now reiterated that the ban means the end of his international career and that he will never pull on the blue shirt of France again.

"I have retired officially. I am 100% sure that I will not return," the striker confirmed to France Soir. "There was no chance that I would return to the national team after what happened on June 19 in Knysna.

"If members had read the newspaper, they would have realised that I have turned a page. Anyways, I already play in Blue every weekend with Chelsea."

In anyway, he would never replayed for France...

Thought he had already retired to be fair! But 18 games in international football is a very long time.. So couldn't see him playing again anyways!

The FFF after some time maybe they had let him play, but I think had done the right thing.

18 games is a long time, yes and no.

If he wouldn't have retired, he could play the European Championship of Nations in 2012.

I guess the FFF has planed this... Like that, if in 2012 France will not have decent striker, they could take him...

They can fuck themselves now. Will have to carry with flop Benzema.

Nothing new,I'm still waiting for the day JT and Lamps retire from that laughing stock.
