Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer has turned his
anger on France after their dismal 2-0 defeat against Mexico left
them on the verge of an early exit.
Having previously lambasted England for "going backwards", the
64-year-old has now laid into Raymond Domenech's team.
"The French are for the moment the biggest disappointment of the
World Cup," said Beckenbauer, who won the World Cup both as a
player and as a coach.
"The manner in which they played (against Mexico), is unworthy
of a World Cup, it looked more like they were playing in a warm-up
match.
"What really shocked me, is the manner that they accepted the
defeat, nobody showed any fire in fighting back.
"One felt that they really weren't a team."
