Could you stop with the rhetorics?

I just told you that France should have a rule that you have to be born in France. Citizenship is just a stamp on a paper.

Even the guys who are born in France but who's parents are immigrants, I don't see them as French. Maybe in a couple of generations their offspring will bee French, but now they aren't.

Xhaka in the Swiss team said he would refuse to score a goal against Albania. "I feel completely Albanian". Even though he was born in Switzerland. And it's similar with many other immigrants and their children, it takes a long time before they feel like they become nationals of their new country.

So foreign legion is a perfect term (unfortunately I think it was Marien LePen who coined it).

If Xhaka doesn't score the federation will take a measure against that I'm sure. How long did your study on nationalist sentiment on immigrants take?

That's who you want to be associated with: Marine LePen.

A racist scum and a lunatic, I don't have problems with your reasoning but if that's how you think, we should go all the way back in the gene tree and consider French only the Gaules and not the mutts that came from the mix with Romans.

But the federation having to take measures proves that all is lost already. The will has to be there. The identity has to be there.

Your example about the Gauls is good, because that was like 2,000 years ago. I do accept that "Nationalities are fluid, they can change" like Ka-pi96 said. To an extent, with time. Given a long time, of course cultures and races can melt together and create new cultures. Eventually France' true identity will be a melting pot, and their national team will feel genuine. Kinda like the USA is today.
