As many of you may have seen already, Mrs Samir Nasri did not take her boyfriend's omission from the France World Cup squad very well.

In her foul-mouthed Twitter tirade, she said in perfectly good anglais: "F*** France and f*** Deschamps! What a s*** manager!"

In stark contrast, Sylvain Distin took his own failure to be named in the France squad in good stride... 

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 😜
