1. What is the current event that the article deals with?

The current event of this article is the French soccer players suspended over the world cup disaster that happened during the months of June and July. The French soccer players refused to play and started a riot against the coach Raymond Domenech; because of these problems France was eliminated in stage groups.


2. Who are the people involved?

The people involved in this current event are the French soccer players that assisted the World Cup like Ribery, Abidal, Anelka, Evra, and some others. Also, the French Football Federation (FFF) committee of discipline is involved in this event.

3. Analyze the article: What are the problems with the article? Is there a bias from the person who wrote the article? What aspects of the event are left out of the article?

I believe there is no bias in this article because it is written by the CNN staff which is an American company and the article is about French soccer team. Some aspects of the event that were not mentioned were exactly what happened at the World Cup and the exact reasons of why these players rebelled outrageously.

 4. What is your opinion of the article? Which of the argument do you support? Explain your opinion using examples from the article.

In my opinion, the French committee was too severe with the players because they really had the reason of rebelling against coach Domenech. This coach did not really want to win, instead it seemed like he was doing everything possible to get France out of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. After having such an excellent career in the last world cups, as mentioned in the article, this embarrassing event happens. It is not the fault of the players like they said, but of the coach that could not control them.
