        NO. Unless if France agrees to pay $20M to African Charities for each goal scored by French players of African descent. Then we shall support #LeBleus.

        Actually this is the exact reason I do not support France at the World Cup! And I’m African.

        I am going for Belgium and not because of the win but because they play like winners, a team. They're definitely getting the cup.

        What kind of ridiculous question is that. At the end of the day France still owns some African countries hench why they still speak French and it's their official language. Their current prime minister said something extremely racist and offending against Africa.pic.twitter.com/YhsKayZCs3
