During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the entire French squad went on strike and refused to enter the public training pitch. Why? It was all in protest of the expulsion of superstar striker Nicolas Anelka, who was a key player at the time, and one of the most coveted strikers of the era, winning the Premier League title and FA Cup with Chelsea. The infamous ‘bus’ situation became a zeitgeist for the dysfunctional era of French football.
