Mole still at large – Anelka refuses to apologize, sent home – Team refuses to practice – FFF official resigns

One of the intriguing questions in the Anelka-expulsion affair is, “Who leaked Anelka’s bust-up with Doms to the press?”

France’s fitness coach, Robert Duverne, is apparently not the mole. He’s just a member of the staff who has trouble accepting that the team wouldn’t train ahead of a World Cup match, which put him at odds with France captain Patrice Evra who was leading the boycott. Evra’s upset that Nico was sent home, and he’s upset about the mole in the camp, whom he dubbed a traitor. Domenech’s also upset about the leak, but said that Anelka wouldn’t have been sent home if he had agreed to apologize.

The French Football Federations (FFF’s) managing director Jean-Louis Valentin was so upset about the team boycotting practice that he resigned.

Other than that, it’s a quiet build-up to the third group match, with France needing a decisive victory over South Africa while also needing Uruguay and Mexico not to play to a draw.
