World Cup: Details of French Drama Now Emerging

from le parisien:

French players voted on whether or not to issue an apology.  Everyone wanted to except Patrice Evra.

Yoann Gourcuff wanted to train and Franck Ribery goaded him, "Go on, Yoann, you'll be alone on the pitch.  Everyone will see you and you'll become a media star."

Evra enraged by Ribery's unscheduled appearance on TF1 (French broadcaster) Sunday, telling him..."You only think of yourself."

Evra and Eric Abidal had a heated two-hour discussion with Domenech on Sunday and Abidal urged him to "reassert control of the team."

Patrice Evra's lawyer wrote players' statement on the training boycott and sent it to Evra's phone.

and from Le Nouvel Observateur:

Hugo Lloris, Bacary Sagna, and Yoann Gourcuff wanted to train but were stopped by Ribery, Evra, and Abidal.  It almost came to blows on the bus.
