What the hell is this, a Michel Houellebecq novel? It isn't like France doesn't have a ton of African influence, including Mbappe, who has an Algerian mother.

Spain + Portugal = Iberian peninsula...
2022
Morocco beat Spain, then they beat Portugal.
Their "campaign" was stopped by the French.
711-732
Berbers from Morocco took over the Iberian and attempted to conquer the Franks. Their "Gettysburg" was the Battle of Tours. Would lose land in modern northern Spain after Franks defeat the Berbers from Morocco.
Spain would be mostly under muslem rule until 1492 which is the same year Columbus was hired by Spanish royalty to find an alternate route to India.

75% of Frances team could probably play for Algeria.

75% of France's team could play for Cameroon. Although most of the team is French born. Mbappe's dad was from Cameroon.
