French government to launch World Cup inquiry

France captain Patrice Evra has revealed an enquiry is to be opened by the French government into Les Bleus’ disastrous World Cup campaign.

The squad flew back from South Africa yesterday following a dismal performance where they mustered a solitary point from three games and gained notoriety for a training ground boycott in protest at the decision by the French Football Federation (FFF) to send home Nicolas Anelka following a bust-up with coach Raymond Domenech.
