Anelka sent home from World Cup

Nico Anelka has been sent home after a row with the outgoing France manager Raymond Domenech. Anelka who was substituted at half time during the 2-0 defeat to Mexico was reported as being on the end of a tirade from the manager in the changing room for playing out of position as he went in search of the ball.

Anelka is reported to have responded by telling Domenech to "Go screw yourself!". As a result the French delegation have sent him home from his first ever world cup!.

At least he can have a rest now and remember happier times in recent weeks as you have to say the French look a shambles!
