Shattering revelations: this is the promise made by Netflix with its documentary “The bus: the Blues on strike”, which returns to the sinking of the France team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The film returns in particular to the significant episode of the players’ strike during training, in their Knysna base camp, which occurred after the exclusion of Nicolas Anelka from the French group.
Ahead of its release, on May 13, the platform unveiled a trailer where several witnesses look back on these events. We see in particular Patrice Evra on the front page of
The Team who ignited the powder, displaying the shocking title: “Fuck you, you son of a bitch!” ». Remarks supposedly made by the attacker against Raymond Domenech at half-time of the France-Mexico match.

Since then, sixteen years have passed and the former French captain clearly still has it in his throat.
“I never wanted to talk about it again. I had forgotten the violence of this story. This lie has been going on for 15 years. I took my responsibilities and I would like Raymond Domenech to take his”he says. What exactly does he mean by that? Netflix obviously preserves the suspense…
At the time, “Uncle Pat” had suspected the presence of a ” mole “ in the Blues locker room. A
“traitor” which, according to him, was at the origin of the leaks to the press. Is he targeting Raymond Domenech today? One month before the 2026 World Cup in the United States (from June 11 to July 19), this explosive documentary risks in any case reopening one of the darkest chapters in the history of French football.
