The Les Bleus

I like this, from the BBC:

France's disastrous World Cup campaign will be the subject of a government enquiry, Patrice Evra has revealed.

Striker Thierry Henry held talks with President Nicolas Sarkozy after the Les Bleus arrived home on Thursday.

Sounds like one of those old variety acts: the Les Bleus Dancers; or Les Bleus and his Moonlight Serenaders.
