Giuly unhappy over France snub
Striker Ludovic Giuly is still struggling to understand his omission from the French World Cup squad one day after winning the Champions League with Barcelona.
The 29-year-old midfielder regained his place in the Barca starting line-up after an injury to Lionel Messi, and capped a successful season by lifting the prestigious trophy in a 2-1 triumph over Arsenal. However, French coach Raymond Domenech overlooked Giuly for the trip to Germany despite being a regular player in the squad since he took the reins of the national side in July 2004.
Giuly said: "This is a huge injustice. But that's life and it's part of a career. I am 30 soon and I am not far away from the end of my career. I would have liked to take part in one World Cup. But after all I have nothing to prove, everyone knows my qualities."
