he didn't shit on the national team... a lot of things went wrong that year and i don't think evra's is to blame for everything. he has responsibility obviously, all the more since he was captain but still the media's depiction of players like Abidal, Evra, Anelka and Ribéry was laughable. their bad reputations are mostly based on hearsay and unconfirmed rumours. Evra, Abidal & Ribéry are all praised for their professionalism and are highly revered in their clubs. you don't become MU's captain like that. even Anelka, who's had a lot of problems with his coaches and teams throughout the years, have been hailed by some of the most reputable individuals in soccer (Ancelotti) as highly professional.
but yeah Evra got carried away a little bit when he captained France, no doubt, crying during the national anthem and stuff, it seemed faked, I think he went out of his way to do too much. talking too much during pre-game conferences, etc.
however, I don't think he is the "thug" that Roselyne Bachelot called out... I think L'equipe's journalists that did their cover and full coverage on Anelka's alleged words (which were not his actual words, btw, this has been confirmed by Henry, Abidal, Toualan, Lloris, Robert Duverne and probably others) did more harm to the french team and failed as serious journalists, but that's another story.

while it's not clever, it certainly is no worse than what Suarez had done an hour and a half before. and more understandable, i could have done the same under similar circumstances. imagine you're being disrespected, again, and the best way to get back at the person is to win the game, once it's done, under so much pressure, you have to gloat and celebrate, not the brightest thing to do, but, hey, soccer players aren't necessarily the brightest dudes to begin with (not to caricature too much)
