Water carrier to sue Cantona
didn't see a thread.
Didier Deschamps will file a legal complaint against Eric Cantona after his former France team-mate controversially suggested the squad selection for Euro 2016 may have been racially motivated, Deschamps’ lawyer said on Friday. https://www.theguardian.com/football...na-race-claims Actual quote: "Benzema is a great player. Ben Arfa is a great player but Deschamps, he has a really French name. Maybe he is the only one in France to have a truly French name. Nobody in his family mixed with anybody, you know. Like the Mormons in America. So I’m not surprised he used the situation of Benzema not to take him. Especially after Valls said he should not play for France. And Ben Arfa is maybe the best player in France today. But they have some origins. I am allowed to think about that." Asked if he was really suggesting that Deschamps – a former France team-mate who he also described as “a muppet” – had been guilty of discriminating against the pair, Cantona added: “Maybe no, but maybe yes. Why not? One thing is for sure – Benzema and Ben Arfa are two of the best players in France and will not play the European Championship. And for sure, Benzema and Ben Arfa, their origins are north African. So, the debate is open.” |

Zut Alors!
I love Eric but surely he is talking out of his derrière here? French football team and French rugby team are not the same colour mix at all - I think Deschamps would pick an outer Mongolian if he had a trace of French blood and could help win the euros. On this one, I'm afraid it is Cantona nul points. |

maybe yes, maybe no. The debate is open.
Hardly a firm accusation is it. |
