Being ethnically French has been a changing dynamic before France was even a country
Look at it’s location and things called trade routes

For real. Colonial empires have taken advantage of their colonial populations for a long time. How dare those countries invite those populations in, make them citizens, and train them so well that many of them become world-class footballers.

No clue while France having black players actually born in France triggers Americans of all people
No shite. If anything France winning with a bunch of black players helps the "Russell Westbrook would be a great soccer player" arguement.

We've had a bunch of ethnonationalists, apparently, who've been arguing for weeks that these teams don't really represent the countries they claim to. It's been really annoying.

Well this thread went to le shite.
Great game, great cup.
Congrats to the winners particularly Modric which was totally deserved. Will be a long 4.5 year wait for the next one.

Rich coming from a war refugee
I didn't come here as a war refugee. I came here 5 years after the war ended, from a town that wasn't even affected by war. Matter of fact all of my family is still over there. Still I don't get your point. Are you referring to that because I moved to America that somehow I'm American? I can never be American. No matter what paper or status or allegiance I provide. As soon as I show my name it's different ball game. Yet if the country that was founded by immigration deep down under doesn't consider me American, then why are you defending those fake arse Frenchmen?

All of the ones saying the African players aren’t really French should go watch “Les Bleus” on Netflix. It showed how important the multi-ethnic 1998 World Cup champion French team was to creating unity in France. It’s nice to be educated about other countries before running your mouth about them on the internet.

52 players at the 2018 FIFA World Cup were born in France.
French-born players can be found on the rosters of Morocco, Portugal, Senegal, and Tunisia.
Why?

quote:
In mid-20th century France, the nation was struggling to rebuild following the second World War. To fill a labor shortage, France began recruiting immigrants from elsewhere in Europe and its former colonies in Northern Africa.
quote:
France was one of the first European countries to create an academy system for scouting, recruiting, and training talented young soccer players; many grew up in immigrant neighborhoods where their foreign-born parents had settled.
quote:
Children of immigrants trained through the French academy system have become stars on the national team. Now current stars like Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé, who was born to an Algerian mother and Cameroonian father in the Parisian suburb of Bondy.
quote:
Researcher Darko Dukic has collected data to show that Paris is the hub of global soccer. No other city on Earth produces as many talented players, and the metropolis has become an incubator of talent for the entire world.

So you and your family came here for opportunity and the American dream?
Being ethnically something else doesn’t mean you cannot be considered an American
