According to the Guardian, Didier Deschamps has filed a civil suit against Anara Atanes for her tweeting after boyfriend was unsurprisingly not picked for France's World Cup squad.
From the article, it appears the FFF is fully in on this foolishness:
Now French radio station RMC is reporting that Deschamps and the French Football Federation (FFF) have both opened legal proceedings against Atanes, who is an English-born singer from the pop group Fanfare.
"FFF condemns insulting remarks against Didier Deschamps and fully supports his coach in his approach," read a statement released on Friday.
"The unanimous feedback confirmed that the entire France condemned such remarks. FFF believes that the unanimous indignation is enough to condemn such behaviour."
Sensitivity's Didier Deschamp
And in other, incidental hilarity:
In a press conference on Friday, Deschamps fielded questions about his squad's behaviour from some members of the media. However when it was pointed out to him that there was a brothel 500 metres from the squad's Brazilian base in Ribeirao Preto, the former France captain reacted angrily.
"Apparently, you're better informed than me," Deschamps said.
Oh France...never change...
