Three prominent players (Renard, Diane, Katoto), who most would consider highly likely starters, and one can’t help noticing also all have black skin, have announced relatively recently that they no longer want to be considered for selection for France. Which are deeply odd calls for a stalwart and long-time captain of the side in likely her last chance to win the World Cup due to age (Renard), or players in their mid-20s who ought to be close to their peaks (the other two). And now the coach, Corrine Diacre, has publicly claimed there is a smear campaign against her.
It all sounds horribly toxic. At the very least.
