Strange, Rummenigge doesn't seem bothered by it.
Quote:
Speaking to Sport Bild, Rummenigge responded to Platini. "Everthing's settled anyway," he said, before adding that Ribery has already discussed the situation with France coach Didier Deschamps.
"He will not receive a call-up anyhow. Everything's fine."

Maybe it's not the French being idiotic but just Platini. Jeez he even referred to Lahm.
Quote:
"If there is disagreement between Lahm and Low, the Germany coach will no longer call on him, that's one thing. But basically it is not Lahm's decision, it's Low's.
"[With Ribery] it's a very different situation. Franck Ribery cannot simply decide whether he plays for France or not. If coach Didier Deschamps invites him, he must come to the national team.
"This is defined in the Fifa statutes. If he does not come, he is suspended for three games with Bayern Munich. I don't understand him anyway. He is French, the European Championship in 2016 will take place in France!"

So Low is not going to call up Lahm. According to Rummenigge, Deschamps won't call up Ribery. Nothing to see here except Platini running his mouth on something that he should be keeping quiet on.
