in football the ethnic French rarely stood out, in the 80s many of the white players on the national team were of Italian or Spanish origin, including coach Hidalgo (Spanish origin) and the best player Michel platini (italian origin), Before Michel Platini, the best French player was Raymond kopa (Kopaszewski) Of Polish origin, the player of French origin who stood out the most is just Fontaine Who scored 13 goals in the world cup of 1958 Until today the record for the most goals in a single edition of the world cupI remember a French former player or coach said that French people are discriminated against in sports.
You omitted 1991 ballon d'or winner Jean-Pierre Papin who wasn't of immigrant descent.in football the ethnic French rarely stood out, in the 80s many of the white players on the national team were of Italian or Spanish origin, including coach Hidalgo (Spanish origin) and the best player Michel platini (italian origin), Before Michel Platini, the best French player was Raymond kopa (Kopaszewski) Of Polish origin, the player of French origin who stood out the most is just Fontaine Who scored 13 goals in the world cup of 1958 Until today the record for the most goals in a single edition of the world cup
Yes. We used to have a French poster here that documented how young players are systematically discriminated against. If you go digging through the soccer subsection, you can probably find some excellent information.I remember a French former player or coach said that French people are discriminated against in sports.

The best example I can remember is that even Griezmann, who is arguably the best French player, was not wanted amongst the youth teams. He was labeled too small, as the French system love those early maturing large black players who litter the national team and French league. So Griezmann had to move to Spain as a teen and developed into the star he is now. If he stayed in France, he probably be waiting tables at a brassiere right now.
I forgot about papin, but papin had a bit of bad luck, he caught an unlucky French generation (late 80's early 90's, He played 86, but his peak was later) and made a bad career decision by going to Milan, and the following season he former team olympique de Marseille Being Champion of the Champions League, Another outstanding Frenchman would be Deschamps, Emanuel Petit is also a name, but none of the names equaled Platini, Zidane or even Kopa, the one who came closest was papin, unfortunately his bad luck in the French national team and not being in the champion team of the Champions league of Marseille Damaged his legacy a littleYou omitted 1991 ballon d'or winner Jean-Pierre Papin who wasn't of immigrant descent.
There is a high probability that the champions league final vs Milan was rigged. Good for him that he wasn't part of a cheating team.Papin made a bad career decision by going to Milan, and the following season he former team olympique de Marseille Being Champion of the Champions League
Yes, but that team was very good, it had great players, voller, boksic, DeschampsThere is a high probability that the champions league final vs Milan was rigged. Good for him that he wasn't part of a cheating team.
Giroud he has a better goal average than Henry, and he is not much talked about, I remember that he was very criticized in the 2018 cup, for not scoring goals (I think he was greatly harmed by the team's system), happy he scored two goals todayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_leading_goalscorers_for_the_France_national_football_team hopefully giroud can add a few goals before the tournament is over

Germany players placed their hands over their mouths during a team photo ahead of their World Cup Group E game against Japan on Wednesday as the row over FIFA's threat of sanctions over the "OneLove" armband continued.
All Germany players took part in the gesture in front of dozens of photographers on the pitch ahead of kickoff, after world football body FIFA had threatened seven European teams with sanctions if they wore the armband symbolising diversity and tolerance.
Germany interior minister Nancy Faeser, sitting next to FIFA president Gianni Infantino in the stands, sported the armband as she chatted with the football administrator.
There is more than one way for a homosexual to receive sexual gratification. By covering their mouths, the German team is signaling that they do NOT approve of mere oral pleasuring, but that true homosexual satisfaction must be granted through anal ramming.View attachment 3664
LMAO
Japan 2. Germany 1. However in virtue signaling, Germany is still undefeated.
Edit: I also found this beautiful statement. So the number 1 value for a German national football team is diversity? Explains why they aren’t very good anymore. I’d think unity, hard work, kinsmanship, teamwork, communication, etc would all be more important but what do I know….View attachment 3666
