A French footballer’s girlfriend could face a fine for her furious Twitter tirade filled with the f-word.<\/p>\n
Shortly after France’s World Cup lineup was announced Tuesday, Anara Atanes — the girlfriend of player Samir Nasri — took to social media to express her displeasure that he wasn’t on the roster.<\/p>\n
“F*** France and F*** Deschamps! What a s*** manager,” the 26-year-old British model posted on her Twitter account.<\/p>\n
“They are idiots! We all know what you meant! F*** the national team and that stupid coach! Nasri is a great player,” she tweeted.<\/p>\n
Atanes later apologized for her comments, saying they were not “aimed at the nation as a whole.”<\/p>\n
But coach Didier Deschamps filed a civil lawsuit against her Friday, charging that she publicly insulted him.<\/p>\n
Lets just get this straight! Im not mad i get my bf for 2 months…. I just think theres a level of respect to be had!

Deschamps’ lawyer, Carlo Alberto Brusa, told CNN that the lawsuit was filed due to the “seriousness of her comments.”<\/p>\n
The French Football Federation said it supports Deschamps’ decision to file the suit.<\/p>\n
“The unanimous reaction confirms that all of France condemns these insults,” the FFF said on its website.<\/p>\n
Deschamps defended his decision to leave the 26-year-old midfielder off the squad, telling reporters this week that Nasri “is a quality player, but his performance on the French national team is not at the same level as that at (his English club) Manchester City.”<\/p>\n
Nasri was handed a three-match ban after swearing at a reporter following France’s loss to Spain in the 2012 European Championship. He was more circumspect this time, tweeting about his omission: “That’s life. Another World Cup at home. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
