The English and Belgian picture is also very interesting

Lemar is Nigerian?

I thought his folks from French Caribbean

It's always been the case with Les Bleus. Their best ever player is of Algerian descent.


What's that doing for Africans though?

shyt....but it does prove that if Africans had the right soccer infrastructure, they would dominate the sport.

He was born there, but he has a family member that played for the Super Eagles too

Good question.

That's all I see it as.

Not enough infrastructure (pitches and money in individual football leagues) and tactical training for African managers and players on the continent itself.

I still want their ass to lose. I am Haitian, I can't cheer for France. Can't cheer for England either.

I feel you.

I just cant support England in anything, no matter how many black people/jamaicans on the team.

Less about infrastructure and more about governance and player development.

There's also no consistency with African teams. Wouldn't even surprise me if no single team that qualified for this World Cup qualifies for the next World Cup.

Good question.

We see it with France all the time.

When they are winning, it's "Allez Les Bleus!". When they are losing the Rassemblement national types start questioning why there are so many blacks and North Africans on their team.
