SOUNDBITE (French) Jean Mazzella, president of the disciplinary commission for the FFF (on message he wants sent by the sanctions) "So that the players have pride in the French colours, and think of all the young people, the volunteers, the young players, all the young people who are training to become football players. That's important." 16. Cutaway of people walking in the street 17. SOUNDBITE (French) Lionel Gibrenne, Vox pop: "I think that these are people who don't have love for the French colours.

Cutaway of French cafe STORYLINE: The French Football Federation suspended Nicolas Anelka for 18 matches for his role in the France team's World Cup fiasco, and handed a five-match ban to former captain Patrice Evra on Tuesday. The FFF's disciplinary commission also gave a three-match ban to Franck Ribery and a one-match suspension to Jeremy Toulalan. Eric Abidal, the fifth player summoned to the four-hour hearing, escaped any sanctions. All 23 players on France's World Cup squad boycotted a training session in South Africa to protest Anelka's expulsion after he insulted then-coach Raymond Domenech during a 2-0 loss to Mexico. But the French federation only summoned the five players who played a leading role in the mutiny. Ribery and Anelka - whose dressing room rage triggered the strike - sent lawyers. Ribery, who was vice captain at the World Cup, did not attend the hearing because Bayern Munich refused to release him ahead of its opening Bundesliga match on Friday against Wolfsburg. Only Evra, Abidal and Toulalan showed up at the hearing, federation official Yann Le Guillard said. France was eliminated after the first round of the World Cup without winning a match.
