Ribery fails to see funny side

French playmaker Franck Ribery had a sense of humour failure here on Thursday when he was asked what he thought of UEFA president Michel Platini's joke that France could win the title if they got off the bus.

Platini's remark at his press conference on Wednesday was in reference to the French debacle at the 2010 World Cup which reached its nadir when the squad went on strike in protest at the expulsion of Nicolas Anelka and stayed on the bus.

"You think I want to answer that question?," he replied frowning at the questioner.

"I have no desire to answer this question."
