Gallas: Domenech caused French farce
Les Bleus crashed out in the group stage amid huge unrest in the camp, with Nicolas Anelka and Domenech involved in a bust-up which resulted in the Chelsea striker being expelled from the squad.
A subsequent strike by the players in protest at Anelka’s expulsion added to the air of farce surrounding France’s doomed campaign, which ended with the 1998 world champions finishing bottom of Group A with just one point and one goal to their credit.
