The reason half of our players are not white is because we had this little thing called colonies. When we peacefully and respectfully left our colonies, some of their inhabitants decided to come to France to find some work (those were the days), and some came because we needed cheap labour. And obivously some had children. The cheek.
Thats accounts for players like Malouda, Thuram, Gallas, etc...
Henry was born in Martinique, which is basically a colony we kept. But its part of France, just like Corsica.
And finally, there are players like Vieira, who were born abroad, but came to France as a child, and got French citizenship.
So that's the story of the Black-Blanc-Beurs. We have the highest Muslim population in Europe, and lots of second/third generation immigrants, who are now as french as cuisses de grenouilles sur baguette avec des fourmis. The bucolic vision of France as a country of mustached white people is only held by old Monarchist and the National Front.
Still doesnt explain were the beret and onion rings have gone, though.
Finally, it's time to admit the French football team have a serious mental problem. We should've won that game so easily. And yet, it looked like we didnt actually want to win it. Henry's miss, Vieira's miss, the non-appeals for the non-goal, the slack defending... I am ashamed.
Thank God Italy are just as bad.
