10 of the 11 Euro MVPs have been white. Zidane being the one non-white.
USA played Franfrica today in the Olympics. It's primarily a U23 tournament as most nations use it as a development tournament with each squad having up to 3 players over age. Most squads have less then 3. USA squad was far improved from the Copa squad as majority of squad was "underachievers". Can't say the same for their opponent.
..
While US lost 3-0 to Franfrica, they controlled a good portion of the game but,couldn't finish their chances and unfortunately their opponents did. But, once again this game proves how overrated Franfrica is similar to their performance in the Euros.

I checked their roster and Truffert and Chotard are the only Frenchmen on it. The most mind boggling trend is that they have 2 more black goaltenders. For the Euros they had 3 black goalies. Can someone quickly name the best black goaltender of all time? That’s sort of rhetorical because I don’t think there are any. This alone could be a downfall of French soccer, as for years, the great Hugo Lloris kept them in games they had no right winning with brilliant saves.

He'd be considered non-Hispanic white on the US census; as would Salah, Benzema etc... but Europe has stricter definitions; even guys like Pirlo (part Sinti) and Beckham (part Jewish) wouldn't be considered fully white by many.

Pirlo and Beckham are white guys. That’s pretty obvious.
