French Coach OK with Escort

Laurent Blanc, the new coach of the French football team has suspended France's entire 23 man World Cup Team. The decision came on Friday morning ahead of France's friendly match against Norway next month. However, he came back on the issue regarding Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema. They have been all over the European press for sleeping with a young escort girl. Laurent Blanc said very clearly that whatever goes on in their personal lives will not influence what happens in the team and that he will be happy to take them on board soon and make them play again for the National Team. In another press conference, the two players have also received the support of the Bayern Munich and of the Real Madrid.

Raymond Domenech, the previous coach, was made to resign after clashing with the whole team in South Africa. Blanc decided to suspend the entire team rather than penalize the members thought to be responsible for the protest but hopefully the two players who had a bit of fun with the escort girl will be able to play for France very soon.
