In 2010, the French national team faced one of the darkest moments in World Cup history. After a fierce dispute between Nicolas Anelka and coach Raymond Domenech, Anelka was sent home, sparking a squad-wide revolt. The entire French team refused to train, sulking on the team bus in a symbolic protest that left fans and officials stunned. With team morale shattered, France crashed out of the tournament, finishing last in their group with only one point. This scandalous campaign went down as a lasting blemish on French football, showcasing how internal strife can lead to public disgrace on the world stage.
