Who says footballers don’t have a sense of humour? Everton’s French centre-back, Sylvain Distin posted this tongue-in-cheek tweet about his omission from the French World Cup squad.
Samir Nasri’s girlfriend could take a lesson from him in dignity and decorum. For those who don’t know, she did this…
I m retiring from France team. It was a wonderful experience and after a record of #0 cap it’s time to say goodbye and focus on my club

It’s a bit mind-boggling to us here in JOE that the French man has never played for his country. He’s been one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League for a few years now and we cannot wait to see the calibre of French defender that is keeping him out of the squad when the World Cup kicks off in around a month’s time.
Fair play Sylvain.
Hat-tip to Conor Murray.
