Anelka sent home

The World Cup is over for Nicholas Anelka.
According to L’Equipe, the Chelsea striker had a showdown with French coach Raymonde Domenech during the Mexico match at half time. He was asked to apologize by French Football Federation president Jean Pierre Escalettes and refused.
A decision was taken by Escalettes who backed Domenech’s decision to exclude the player. Patrice Evra, the French captain also attended the meeting.
Who knows this might be the spark they were looking for. Anelka looked like he wanted to be anywhere else except the pitch against Mexico. France now face South Africa in a must win and hope that Uruguay vs Mexico produce a winner because a draw will eliminate them.
