Former France international Lilian Thuram has said that current captain Patrice Evra should never be allowed to represent his country again due to his leading role in the FIFA World Cup™ player revolt.

Captain Patrice Evra admits it feels like France are a "small football nation - and it hurts" after they lurched towards the verge of early FIFA World Cup elimination.

There can be no argument that, for a number of years, France have felt most comfortable playing down the left flank and Patrice Evra has warned that they cannot become predictable.

Captain Patrice Evra brushed aside France's troubled build-up to declare on that they can win the FIFA World Cup.
