Football Federation has suspended all 23 members of France's World Cup squad for their next game.New France coach Laurent Blanc requested that no member of the squad be selected for a friendly against Norway in Oslo on 11 August.
France failed to win any of their three group games in South Africa.
The campaign included a training strike by the players in support of Nicolas Anelka, who was sent home for insulting coach Raymond Domenech.
Blanc said: "I obviously cannot act as if nothing had happened in South Africa.
"I followed the events with sadness, I was disappointed with the sporting results and I was shocked by certain behaviours."
"I will integrate these elements into my analysis and my thoughts. I always had the principles, rules of conduct and not just in my sporting life. They have not changed and I will not change."
Latest rumour is that the Arsenal squad will replace the suspended French team .
