During the first round of group matches, the French team resulted in two defeats to Mexico and South Africa respectively, a draw with Uruguay on the opening day of June 14.

Nevertheless, Malouda managed to mark the only single goal in the last match with South Africa.

However, in between the depressing score had been serious internal rifts. Striker Nicolas Anelka sent home after insulting the coach, players' refusal of a public official training, all accumulated a total disgrace for the French nationals.

Domenech announced his departure at the end of the match, giving his best wishes to his successor and the future team. But his refusal to shake hands with the Brazilian coach of South Africa Carlos Alberto Parreira in front of all media cameras, plus refusing twice to explain this when questioned by journalists at the press conference afterwards, had also outraged the French.

His successor Laurent Blanc was among the heroes of the 1998 national team when France won the World Cup. Media urge him to move on quickly as the next match for the national team is scheduled on September 3rd with Belarus for the peliminary session of Euro 2012.

Left wing socialist Francois Holland commented on June 22 that the team had set a very bad example to everybody in this World Cup's performance, saying they had done all that should not have been done.

Ex-national team member and commentator Emmanuel Petit also said the whole team and management had not learnt any lesson after Euro 2008, they had made no improvements and the results today were not untraceable.
