Croatia has made it to the World Cup finals taking place on July 15 in Moscow, where they will be up against France – a majority African team. That people are noticing the racial makeup of the “French” team is creating a “scandal” in the media:
In a Facebook post, former Croatia manager Igor Stimac wonders if anyone knows “who exactly are we playing against in the finals” and lists 13 footballers from the French squad, pointing to their African descent.
This adds to a string of scandals surrounding Team Croatia throughout the championship: after defeating Russia, Croatian defender Domagoj Vida was filmed yelling “Glory to Ukraine!” – an expression that was widely used by anti-Russian Ukrainian nationalists during and after the 2014 Maidan coup.
It appears that only 2 or 3 at most of the 11 “French” players are White.
Why isn’t there an outrage in France that Whites are under-represented on the national team based on population percentages?
If flooding France with Black Africans is what it’s going to take to win a World Cup, then that’s the sacrifice they are willing to make. If “France” wins, we will watch Paris burn as they “celebrate” with rioting and looting.

Whenever international sports are played on the TV around me, i always root for the country with the most players that look like the country they are supposed to be from haha.
I always get flak for not rooting for the USA. They say you have to because its your country.. Well, news flash, they arent my people! Its sickening when you look at the teams playing and cannot tell one from the other because they all have 17 different races playing for them.

Not that it matters entirely, and because I’ve never followed soccer – at any level, but I wonder how many of the blacks on the French team were foreign-born (outside of Europe) and how many of them were actually born in France? I’m not sure which says more, probably the latter. Either way, its embarrassing and makes France look ridiculous.
I’m not even a soccer fan in the slightest, but I sure hope Croatia kicks France’s mostly black buts back to their mud huts!

when I was a kid (almost 40 years ago now) and actually watched commercial sports, I remember commenting to my dad about the color of the “French” athletes in the Olympics at the time. France isn’t the only white country guilty…
