The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022
- Thread starter concise
- Start date
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
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...
Fair enough, but Messi is also 35 and Mbappe is still young and in his prime, but i get your point
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...Damn breh I don't know why you hate Griezmann so much but it's been funny to see in this thread.
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.
is this the first time the third place match is a rematch from the group stage?
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.

Pretty incredible that 8 Morocco- based players played over the course of the semifinal. A credit to Moroccan football system that they didn’t look out of place.

All I hear that is the Argentina midfield too much for France but they played a better midfield in England than Argentina. Question is has Argentina faced a front line like France all tourney?

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
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”

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.
