        Once again African wants to reap where they did now sow same traits all our leaders exhibit. Let ask ourselves why do we do better abroad? Instead to provide basic infrastructure and support grassroots development we let dem risk crossing d sea? Please let them enjoy bein French.

        Since when has DNA been a component of nationality? So majority of Americans and Australians are not actually Americans or Australians either?

        Right. But it’s his DNA that helped him win, not his passport. Or do you believe that we’re blank slates?

        Wtf are you talking about? He’s French, doesn’t matter what his origins are. Grizemann has German heritage, Lloris and Hernandez have Spanish heritage. They’re all French.

        This is one Big misunderstanding. I tell people I am Italian-American. By that I mean my ancestors were born in Italy. I'm proud of both where my ancestors came from and that I was born in AMERICA. I have never been to Italy, but we follow some Italian traditions. Proud of both

        Solution: French win world cup for France: white only French football team. How would people react to that?
