Biggest spoilt brats in world football

It would be remiss of me if I did not make some sort of comment about the inept display by the French National Football team at the World Cup.

From a purely French point of view, from talking to French people about it, people seems rather pleased at the goings on in South Africa over the last few weeks.

People here are genuinely ashamed what transpired against Ireland a few months back, and feel that they probably did not really deserve to be there. There is nothing more French than going on strike, and at the World Cup, of course the team decided to go on strike. That really was the last straw for most people here. So much so that on their arrival back in Paris, Thierry Henry was summoned to a meeting with the President himself (who allegedly cancelled some meetings with some NGO's in order to receive Henry) to find out what the hell went on.

People here are sick of the embarrassment caused to the nation by a bunch of overpaid, spoilt clowns. I think a lot of people took some joy from the ignominy of the French Football team, being flown home from South Africa in economy class.
