Striker Nicolas Anelka has been dismissed from France's World Cup squad

"The decision (to remove Anelka) has just been taken," French football federation vice President Noel Le Graet told French radio station RTL.
According to L'Equipe newspaper, Anelka unleashed a scathing attack on Domenech after being criticised during the interval as France sank to a dismal 2-0 defeat in Polokwane on Thursday.

Anelka allegedly told Domenech to "go screw yourself, dirty son of a whore" in the dressing room at the Peter Mokaba Stadium after the coach criticised his first-half performance.
When Anelka took issue, Domenech threatened to substitute him, and the player unleashed his foul-mouthed tirade, reported L'Equipe.
Domenech's response was immediate. Anelka was replaced with Andre-Pierre Gignac for the second half.
"It's shocking, because if anyone has protected Anelka, it's Domenech," said Le Graet.
"Domenech has played Anelka throughout the past two years.
"There are of course divergences of opinion surrounding tactics and positioning, but it merits in any case friendlier conversations."
Further reports suggesting that a disciplinary hearing has been convened by France Football Federation officials on Saturday afternoon and that Anelka would be sent home from South Africa have proved to be well founded.
Mexico secured victory with two second-half goals, leaving France – winners in 1998 and beaten finalists four years ago – on the brink of elimination.
France require a convincing victory over South Africa next Tuesday to stand any chance of advancing to the second round.
However, this result would be rendered meaningless should Mexico and Uruguay draw in the other match – a result which would see both teams advance.
Anelka's outburst is the latest in a series of reported conflicts to come out of the France training camp during the World Cup and comes hot on the heels of captain Patrice Evra's admission that his side are a football force in decline.
