It wasn't me! Ex-France coach Domenech labels players 'brats' and blames them for World Cup shambles

Shocker: France bagged a solitary point from their three group games
It was during the 2-0 defeat to Mexico in France's second game of the tournament that Anelka confronted Domenech, ultimately leading to his dismissal from the team.
The players protested by refusing to train the following day with the situation escalating further when captain Patrice Evra and fitness coach Robert Duverne became embroiled in a furious row.
The players then returned to the team bus for a meeting and closed the curtains.
