I expect nothing less from some South American players. Everyone remembers the great Rivaldo... right?



Hmm, pie.

eh, I've no problem with immigrants playing for national teams. The naturalisation process exists for a reason. Besides, many of them moved to their new country at such a young age that they're much closer culturally to that country than the one they were born in.

Yes, that reason is money.

I don't think immigrants should play for national teams, this kills the whole purpose of national competition and I'm happy we have none on our team. But I'm against the process of destroying nations that's taking place in Europe in general.

I mean, look at this. I understand there is global warming, but this is just wrong.

Oh really, funny you complain about this yet Poland themselves allow it as well with your main striker in the early 00s Nigerian born Emmanuel Olisadebe being an example of it.

I'm hoping that one day shit like this will mean a lengthy suspension.



Anyone else concerned that if France gets kicked out of the cup they're gonna relax their safety measures. Like the passive aggressive French that they are.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Couldn't have started worse for France.
On plus side, this is going to be a great game now.

People need to get used to this sight. In just a few hundred years all traditionally caucasian countries will have their caucasians in a very small minority.

Don't think so.

Remember when Germany wanted to unite all aryan people but you refused? That's what you get for it.

Well, the thing is that France used to have many colonies once upon a time, so African countries were a part of France. The French language was made official in those countries, so the black people who moved to Europe went to France first and foremost. If an African country belonged to France, it technically is France. And when children of the black people who moved to Europe were born in France, how could they be anything other than French? All that's left as a counter-argument is to be a racist.

You can also look at this situation from another angle. If black people are so bad, then European countries shouldn't have brought African countries under their government. This means that the root cause for having so many black people in Europe is Europe itself. It means that what you don't like is the fault of white people. But I don't think when you say "this is just wrong" that you are putting any blame on white people.

I know the historical reasons, but still think this is humiliating, when you get teams with only 2-3 players who genuinely represent their nation. I wouldn't mind if it was one or two guys here or there, like you have in Italy for example. But when you barely have someone from your nation on the team? That's ridiculous. And don't pull that bullshit racism card. I'm complaining about black players and Arabs playing in European teams just like I'm complaining about half of Austrian team consisting of Yugoslavian players. It's not about race, it's about nation. It just happens so, that European nations are nations of white people, but by no means am I limiting this rant just to different races

 

PS. Don't generalize, not all white nations were involved in colonization and slavery, so putting the blame for that on all white people is unjustified.

 

PPS. GO IRELAND!! Take yet another favourite down.
