Ban is really harsh, but the FFF had to make an example. M'Vila was made an example out of because of his previous disciplinary issues at EURO 2012, plus he was an elder in the team and supposedly initiated the gathering. You guys realized this was done the day before the team's second leg match against Norway that decided which team qualified for the 2013 UEFA U-21 Championship. It may not be important to you, but qualifying for that competition was really important to the federation. France looked fucking awful in that match and trailed 5-1 at one point. Their performance cost the under-21 manager his job.
