아까 뉴스보다가 리포터가 영국놈이었는데 프랑스 조낸 비꼬듯이 소식전하던게 생각나서 찾아보니 ㅋ

(CNN) -- French captain Patrice Evra has been left out of the team for his country\'s final World Cup group game against South Africa following an apparent collapse in relations between coach Raymond Domenech and his squad.

French football fans are facing the prospect of seeing their team become one of the first to be eliminated from the World Cup amid infighting and allegations of treachery.

Evra was involved in a public training ground dispute with the squad\'s fitness coach on Sunday and is reported to have led dissent over the expulsion from the squad of striker Nicolas Anelka.

Anelka was sent home after confronting Domenech at halftime during France\'s 2-0 defeat by Mexico last week.

The former world champions must beat hosts South Africa in their final group game in Bloemfontein to stand any of advancing to the knockout stages. The South Africans must also win to stand any chance of avoiding becoming the first World Cup host nation to be eliminated in the first round.

But a draw between Uruguay and Mexico in the group\'s other match would mean elimination for both France and South Africa regardless of their result.

France\'s preparations for the match have been overshadowed by the dispute between Domenech and his players.

France\'s players refused to train on Sunday after Evra squared up to fitness coach Robert Duverne, amid reports he was incensed that details of the Anelka incident had been leaked to the media.

Adding to the confusion, French team director Jean-Louis Valentin then publicly announced his resignation to the media, while French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot has been in France attempting to mediate between Domenech and his players.

But on Monday night Bachelot told journalists the French players had "tarnished the image of France," according to French sports newspaper L\'Equipe.

In an indication of the extent to which relations have broken down between Domenech and his squad, the coach on Monday described this players\' decision to strike as "unspeakably stupid," and called their actions "an aberration and an imbecility."

"Nobody can behave in such a way in the dressing room or elsewhere and high-level sportsmen and women have to lead by example through football," Domenech told reporters.

"We tried to convince the players that what was happening was irregular, that their actions were unspeakably stupid. I told myself this masquerade had to be stopped. No way would I back this action."

CNN Senior International Correspondent Jim Bitterman in Paris said French fans, pundits and politicians were attempting to outdo each other in their criticism of the French squad.

"One of the words we\'ve heard is divas to describe the team and chaos to describe the situation," said Bitterman.

"It\'s the image of the French society now, it\'s a bad example for the youth -- terrible," one Parisian woman told CNN.

"They\'re paid players. Whatever happened in their team it\'s not the right time to go on strike," said another.

France\'s problems at the World Cup have exacerbated long-standing dissatisfaction with the controversial Domenech, who is due to step down as national coach after the tournament to make way for former World Cup-winning defender Laurent Blanc.

France won the World Cup on home soil in 1998 and reached the final under Domenech four years ago in Germany, losing on penalties to Italy after star player Zinedine Zidane was sent off for head butting Italian defender Marco Materazzi.

But France has struggled to replace the Zidane generation, which also won the European Championship in 2000. They only qualified for South Africa by virtue of a tight playoff win over Ireland, sealed with the help of Thierry Henry\'s handballed assist for William Gallas\' goal.

Exit at the group stage in South Africa would mark their second successive failure in the opening stages of a major tournament after they crashed out of Euro 2008 without winning a match.
