To be honest I don't know how I feel about calling the French team African or Le Noirs. :patrice: As much as I appreciate the black excellence it legitimises the same rhetoric used by the French far-right like the FN. I hate cosigning Nazis. They always refer to it as an African team. It's the sort of rhetoric that Thuram was fighting against...

Agree. The intent isnt negative most of the time, but it does lose sight of the fact that theyre all French for all intents and purposes.. IIRC theres only one person on the team who isnt born in France and he barely even plays (Mandanda). All are products of the French system from childhood too.

I think the bigger thing is just recognizing that the black players are from traceable African descent. I mean I'm sure some of them even regularly visit their larger family back in the homeland.

At the end of the day though, they are French first.

The real African nations e.g. Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon etc need to stand up

Conspiracies are going nuts online over the Russia run

- If Putin can orchestrate brexit and Trump as US president, then he can certainly arrange Russia to win the world cup in his own country

- We already know for a fact that the Russian government used agents to break into WADA labs and switch doping samples. I can't imagine there's much hope of any legitimate testing going on at this WC. Strange that Russia have topped the distance covered and sprint stats by a margin that stretches credibility beyond breaking point. But I guess it's impolite to mention that


Some ppl suggesting Putin got Spain to throw the game :dead:
