World Cup 2010: Black Soccer Player for France, Patrice Evra Dropped for Leading Revolt!! Read All About It! (344 hits)
Captain relegated to bench for must-win fixture-- Looks to have paid price for leading players' revolt
Patrice Evra has been dropped for France's crucial match against South Africa this afternoon.
{Brother Jamal, should we protest? Just kidding--- you know I have nothing but love for you with your handsome self!!} ((giggling))
The full-back, and France captain, appears to have paid the price for leading the protest which saw the entire squad refuse to train on Sunday following the decision by the French Football Federation to send Nicolas Anelka home after he insulted the manager, Raymond Domenech, following France's 2-0 defeat by Mexico last week.
The midfielder Alou Diarra has been named captain in place of Evra, who is on the France bench.
The 1998 winners must beat the hosts in Bloemfontein today to stand any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages from Group A.
Miisrael you just don't know how many flags I see every single day flying on cars, eh! It's such a big thing --- the 2010 FIFA World Cup. I hope my son becomes an International Soccer Player... Yes I want to be a Soccer Mom.
