spartans5 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why does it seem that only players based in France that played in the World Cup are unavailable until after around when they would have met up with their team after the World Cup? If one nation has that, shouldn't all of them have it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourcuff20 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Kevin-Prince Boateng of Milan is unavailable until 26th of June, I think, so it's not only France's players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 David James is also unavailable for Bristol City til the middle/end of June as well so it's not just France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartans5 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 But my point was shouldn't it be every player, and not just a select few? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I believe a lot of the Francs were omitted from the next international game, due to a) being rubbish, 2) having disagreements with the coaching staff, and iii) having a new manager who wouldn't stand any nonsense. I quote from Wikipedia: "Blanc's first move as manager was to suspend all 23 players from the 2010 World Cup squad from his first game, as collective punishment for a number of negative incidents involving the squad occurred at the competition" Does this tie-in with that?

Koki Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Probably the WC players of some clubs were granted a longer holiday and this is reflected by these players being unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just French players, I noticed it mostly with players who played their club football in France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
