Anelka confirms international retirement
Soccer Betting Lines
09/06/2010 -
Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - France striker Nicolas Anelka confirmed his
retirement from international soccer on Monday having been given an 18-match
suspension by the French Football Federation for his conduct at this past
summer's World Cup.
The 31-year-old Anelka was sent home early by former manager Raymond Domenech
after the two exchanged words at halftime of France's 2-0 defeat to Mexico.
The remaining players refused to train in protest of the move, and key members
of the team like Patrice Evra, Franck Ribery and Jeremy Toulalan were handed
short suspensions by the Federation for their role in the debacle.
But Anelka's 18-game ban was far greater of a punishment, and he reiterated
his desire to never play for France again on Monday.
"I have retired officially. I am 100 percent sure that I will not return,"
Anelka told France Soir. "There was no chance that I would return to the
national team after what happened on June 19 in Knysna.
"If members had read the newspaper, they would have realized that I have
turned a page. Anyway, I already play in Blue every weekend with Chelsea."
