Thuram, who said that France captain Patrice Evra should never play for the team again after the players boycotted a training session in South Africa, told Saturday's L'Equipe newspaper that the strike had a calamitous effect on French public opinion.

Thuram, a World Cup and European championship winner with France in 1998 and 2000, added that only the players "who ignited the move should be punished."
