:salute: to Morocco for making it to the semifinals and creating more slots for African teams in the next world cup

It's crazy for me to see Black people in this thread and other places online rooting for France. IDGAF how many African players France has, I'll never support them in anything. As someone who is a descendant of people colonized by France I will always despise them for their past and current ongoing atrocities in Africa and their former colonies. I have nothing personal against their players, I fw Mbappe heavy and he's my favorite player but I can't rock with France at all.

But I don't fw with Argentina either. I wish both of these teams could lose in the final :francis:

I'll root for France but for me it's not about history/politics: I just don't be around Frenchmen whereas if Argentina wins, I won't hear the end of it... but yeah I've seen Africans on social media and Haitians IRL say they're rooting against France due to reasons you stated (plus the representation talk means little or nothing to people who come from all-black/majority-black countries anyway); I respect it. I watch Angolan television occasionally and I've seen presenters tell people on more than one instance not to support European national teams due to colonialism...

At the end of the day, you might find a reason not to support anybody if you're gonna bring politics into it, I just think it's wild you get called a c00n if you don't support FRANCE lol it's not that serious...

Damn breh I don't know why you hate Griezmann so much but it's been funny to see in this thread. :russ:

And yeah Griezmann has been the best french player since the begining of the tournament, without him the team would collapse. He's the main creator on offense, always making the right pass and he's even impressive with his pressing. The stats back it up, I think he's the player who created the most chances in this WC. Everytime he plays with the national team dude becomes superman.
And why is that shocking? Yes Mbappe and Dembele are crazy talents, but France has always been stuffed with talent in the Zidane/post-Zidane era. Benzema could be scoring two goals a game right now, or tanking the team with BS play. Griezmann has been an elite player for a long time...

I'm rooting against Argentina for two reasons. #1, where are their blacks? Every other country in South America has black people. They don't? Why? Did they kill off their blacks? It's not encouraging. #2? I don't want to hear the endless bullshyt about Messi being better than Ronaldo because he won a World Cup. Nevermind he had the squad and could have done it in 2010. fukk Messi and fukk Argentina.

But you had no problem with the “Ronaldo is better because he won the Euros” talk even though he missed almost all of the final?

KOONS in here talking bout:
“I don’t care about the majority in their team being Black, how can you root for France”

The same way Black ppl in the Diaspora root for America only if there are African-Americans involved. nikkas purposely being dense :what:

As Black people, we root for the Black Diaspora over CACS.

Especially CACS that
• erased their Black and Indigenouss demographic and became one of the whitest countries in the world, IN SOUTH-AMERICA
• became a safe haven for Nazis
• are known for their DevilTier racism at non-whites



“How can Black people root for France over Argentina at this point of the tournament and think I’m a KOON for not understanding” :mjlol:

Oh believe me I know that France is always full of talent but I was surprised to see Griezmann doing so well as a creative attacking midfielder type without Pogba and Kanté. He's always been elite but I'm happy to see that this role suits him, he's aging and could continue on this path for many more years.

Watched every major cup since the 90s, watch about just about every Madrid game since the 90s except CL and I listen to pros and analyze based on what they say.


Those teams had relatively solid defense (yes it can be spelled [spelt for the untraveled] in different ways depending on which region you have your autocorrect set to) for being NATIONAL TEAMS. And yes they were better than this France. But that doesn't make them poor. Not heard anyone say that, I've heard people say that Upamecano was overly aggressive vs England, as he has been in Bayern as well.

stop with the babble :camby:



casual + american "soccer fan" :picard::mjlol:

why you guys feels the need to come up in here and terrorise normal football folk with your "football" babble is beyond me.
