The furore over France cheating its way to the World Cup finals shows no sign of abating.
The French acting purely in their own interest should hold no surprises for anyone, of course.
Their whole diplomatic approach is profoundly unilateral and their dirigiste instincts see them ignoring the EU's free market principles at will. Playing by the rules just isn't their thing and being exposed as cheats on the world stage has been met with a gallic shrug.
