If you thought the English team had it bad for the World Cup, what with being spied on by their coach and all, wait till you hear about the French, who’ve just had a roasting from the government over their hotel being “too flashy”.

According to the Guardian, Rama Yade pointed out that the spoilsport Spanish team had shacked up in university accommodation, and said about the French team’s hotel:

Personally I would not have chosen that hotel. I had asked football authorities to show decency. In times of crisis, you need to think about it.

The hotel in question? The Pezula Resort on the Western Cape, which bills itself as “Africa’s most luxurious resort estate”.

It certainly does look pretty luxe – just look at the pictures here. Looks like the froggies have booked it up until 3 July, but after that, rooms start at $615 a night. Zut alors!

Apparently, one of the players dismissed her comments, saying “many people must be jealous”. We’re raising our hands here – just enjoy it for us, garcons.

why the fuss

looks a lovely resort.It's not really realistic to expect multi-millionaire footballers not to want the best accommodation when they're going to play in the biggest tournament of their lives.
