and if you were to just have 18 man squads with the injured players healthy, i think you could make a france A vs france B final. shyt, make wenger the coach of B and i'm riding with B.

I'm tired of this excuse "I'm supporting France because the team is basically full of west Africans"

Have you been to France before? It is a very racist country. The "immigrants" are all huddled into the poverty stricken, violent Banlieues. Police brutality is a way of life there. France nearly burned to the ground in 2005 riots beacuse of these issues.

Outside of Rap music, football and drug dealing, African, Caribbean and Arab youth in France have ZERO opportunies.

My guy, who's a Black Muslim from Chad named Mohammed who grew up in France told me in France it's accustomed to put a picture of your face on resumes, if you thought getting a job was hard put here in the west imagine that:picard:

False :scust:

For the record, I'm of Guadeloupean decent and my parents came to France in the 70s. What you wrote here is mostly stereotype and I just can't let this falsehood stand.

What you call banlieue is probably what you should have called "cité" ou "quartier" which would translate into US "projects" or UK "estates". The banlieue is just the (sometimes) remote area where cités are. Banlieues do not only hold cités, most residential houses in France are in banlieues.

Lol at police brutality being a way of life. Are there brutality ? Of course it happens but the average person in a cité almost never has to deal with police. It is estimated that 4 million people live in ZUS (poorest cités), most do NOT have encounters with police.

France DIDN'T almost burn to the grounds in 2005, that couldnt be further from the truth... Some streets in some of the poorer communes were burning, yeah, but that was all. Those were really concentrated events which captured every journos eyes while 99% of the territory was fine. There are 35000 communes, the riots impacted around 300 and in those 300, only some specific areas/streets were touched (often the very cités/cars/equipments where the rioters lived)

And lol at the end of your post, the most ridiculous take. Plenty of Black and Maghrebi people in every technical fields. Go to trade fairs and similar networking stuff and you will see plenty. Music, drug dealing and football being are only possibilities :snoop:


Now, don't get me wrong, not everything is roses and bubbles. There is racism, there is islamophobia, there is an anti-immigrant sentiment, the poorer people are often immigrants, right wing parties have been steadily rising, that's true.

Some low paying jobs do have an over representation of Black and Arab people (security or cleaning for example) and indeed there is more unemployement, more poverty in cités which also hold a far bigger ratio of non-Euro ethnicities, that's also correct.

But the average Black and Maghrebi frenchie... lives ok :manny:

Brits and football :yawn:

Fergie was the last Brit who could make me consider changing my opinion on anything football non-PL related. And he’s not even English :mjlol:


I don’t know why a Caribbean immigrant in the UK, who probably hasn’t watched football outside of the prem think his opinion on France. Especially over countless analysts and pundits. Kids and the internet these days :dahell:

more babble. not an immigrant son. not in the UK. watched more football by 15 than you will ever see in your life. worked in france. have been to france maybe 30 times.

:camby:

when are you yankee casual don't-know-shyt-about-the-world pendejo dummies going to leave and take your babble with you?

after the final :blessed:

these americans just have to babble as if they know everything when they know very little at all about the outside world.

there are exceptions of course (@Rhakim knows everything ... :wow:) but these casuals :picard:

you don't see tons of non-americans up in the basketball/baseball/NFL/hockey threads trying to explain your sport to you the experts.

You must be joking.

In 2005 the French government declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY because of the civil unrest. The whole of France was literally on fire after the police murdered the two African and Arab kids in Clichy-sous-Bois.

I live next door in Belgium and I know what I'm talking about you fukkwit. Stop spreading lies here. How many names like Mahamadou or Fofana do you see in the corporate sector in Europe? Very, very low. Many of the immigrant youth are into music, sports or illegal activity where the barriers to entry is low.

Stop sugarcoating Europe.. it's a shyt place for African and Arab people.
