Racist bullshit. I have several friends and family in France doing extremely well...
Tell that to the African and North African boys in the Paris suburbs or Marselille...
There are several thousands of white French in homeless shelters. Ditto homelessness in US, Canada and most European countries. What's your point?
Are you suggesting that blacks in the US are not disadvantaged of just lazy?
You think the Africans and Arabs in the Paris suburbs riot every other year for the fun of it?
The fact is that your job application goes straight into the dustbin if your name is Zidane or Kante and you are not a footballer. Of course, there are exceptions, like your friends...
Vincent, please help us understand your argument.

That they shouldn't be happy playing for France? Or winning the World Cup with France?

All because of France's record with immigrants? Abeg, tell us which country is great for immigrants... and which ones we should celebrate when our children compete and win for them?
My argument is that we should appreciate/support France for being France and not because they have African boys. Things become problematic when we focus on the African-ness of the players. They are great team. Period.

Men like Deschamps are born special! Never bet against them in this life. 20 years ago he lifted the cup as a player and captain of France...

Croatia were too tired. They did not play to their full potential.

Has France ever achieved anything without the help of her colonies?

A team six years in the making to win the WC.

Congrats to Deschamps. Did it his own way.

Don't like it, but you have to respect it.
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Congratulations to France. What won it for them was:

1) French clinical finishing
2) Lack of top class Croatian playmaking in the final 1/3.
3) Tough French dense
4) Officiating: those 2 calls mattered a lot, although they didn't put the game out of reach for us.
