France has had the most native players and coaches in the last 4 World Cups… and their dominance has been on the rise. Players like Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba are the children of immigrants and the product of the French soccer academy system. French- born players have played for Togo, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Argentina, Portugal, and many more.

Vox correction it doesn’t imply dominant immigrant ghettos (not cool using that word either) is just means suburbs for example the Banlieue to the west the Hautes de Seine (92) is the richest department of all France , and is not heavily immigrant like let’s say the north , get your facts straight before making a video we know you did it in a positive way but as informative video is important to present facts.
2:59 will it happen again ????
mzindpendent7 That's true, I guess that they use "banlieue" like that because medias took this word in some depreciative fashion during violence peaks in the past, showed in the american style : exageration, not in touch with reality.
"Banlieue" is an old word, used in town planning back in the XVIIIe, with a lot of evolution and nuance in its meaning.
Indeed, "ghetto" is very inappropriate in this context. In France, we would use the word "cité", as deprived neighborhood, to describe some suburb with a bit more of violence, drugs or other social issues. Or no word, because each place is different.
Excellente vidéo. Félicitations.
The true word used in french media to qualify a "banlieue" as a immigrant dominant ghettos is "Cités". Litteraly it means cities but when used as the cities (les cités) in a suburb context, it means poor ghettos with high criminality, often seen in the french media and politics as immigrant dominated area.

you're so dumb
And don't forget we win ww2 bcs 90% of french was resistant or was for resistant
The Law France won. All the time ! Every teams have a French born player or at least a player trained in France.
I’m more curious about why Croatia is so good but such a small country
Like uruguay and netherlands smallness makes it easier to scout talent and develop it.
Croatia isn’t good they just got lucky
@@Wise__guy nahh they're finalist of the last world cup as wel, they're good.
@@Wise__guy
They are very good because they have experience, have a system that fits the squad, and are methodical in their approach.
Luck did not carry them to a final in 2018 and a semifinal in 2022.
@@Wise__guy yeah made finals last WC and semis this one but lucky smh
Also a great thing about French football system (this applies to many european football system I think) is that football leagues are pyramidal systems. Where you have couple of national leagues, then regional leagues, then local leagues. Every year, the top teams goes to the league above, and the last teams goes to the lower leagues. Great thing is that it push the competition while allowing small/poor clubs to go higher if they have great results. And biggest clubs who have their team in the first league, can have their "reserve" second team in the third league. Allowing to switch players from the reserve team to the first team as they want. So big clubs can have significant training center where they will train and evaluate new talents in their reserve team.
in america there is no real tension rooting for a team thats not very good because they all pay to stay on top, in europe relegation battles can often be more exciting than who wins imho
similar in england
We can prob. Incorporate ncaa into such model.
This is standard approach in whole soccer europe (and i believe its similar in most fifa countries) , so its not special at all but it differs from the us system.
Ironically, America is the most socialist when it comes to sports, lol. European relegation is the most merciless, capitalistic version of sports.

@@guilhermenunes3044 95% of these 61 sorryyy
It's fun when you enslave a continent and use that to select players worldwide and not nationally. If Brazil had colonized most of Africa, Im sure most players would be Brazilian. Nationality is just a formality. Most france players should be representing their african origin countries. Zidane was from Algeria.
@@paulocymbaum1566 why they « SHOULD » be representing their africain origin? They are ALL born and raised in france.
And don't worry about the African national teams 98% of Senegalese Tunisian or Cameroonian players are players born and raised in France and even like that there is enough for the french national team lol.
They are free to choose between their two countries like the example of Zidane that you gave and he chose france.

Thierry Henry, Lilian Thuram, Chritian Karembeu, Bernard Diomède, and Bernard Lama are not immigrant or son of imigrant. They come from the overseas territories of France. It's like saying Hawai is not part of America.
Not quite. Hawaii is more like Corsica.
Nope, there is no diffierence between Corsica and French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, Mayotte. They all are French Region, like Normandy, or Alsace, some are just further. I'm born in Cayenne, French Guyana, a French teritory since longer than Corsica, i'm a French citizen by law not born in a foreign country, not an immigrant. Even if i'm black and the Racist Pig don't like that :D
Auriël OK hold up don't call me a racist pig
Auriël because French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Reunion are considered overseas departments, and some of them have football teams, although not FIFA sanctioned
Is it the FIFA who determine who is an immigrant or not ? Born in French territory, not an immigrant. End of the discussion.
These players were born in France, grew up in France, were trained by the French educational and football system. Their mother tongue is French, and most of them do not master the language of their origin country ... and have a knowledge of their parent's culture which remains approximate.
They know only too well that they owe their success to France, and are proud to defend the colors of their country. Even those who play today under the colors of other countries and possess dual nationality have all one day caressed the idea of playing for France. They remain a pride for our football training system, and prove every day the competence and quality of our academies.
Each country has its own definition of nationality. In France, it is not blood that defines nationality. Otherwise our compatriots from French overseas departments and territories would not be French.
French nationality is a social pact. We are French if we cherish the French language, and a certain way of life. We are French if we adopt a number of values such as democracy, human rights, gender equality, and laicity. These values are summarized by our national motto: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. You will notice that after the World Cup victory, many players of the French national team have publicly resumed this motto, or declared "Long live the Republic" to show their commitment to their country, to celebrate the victory.
Ironically, the player whose attachment to France could be questioned is Lucas Hernandez, who was born in France but grew up in Spain and mastered Spanish better than French. But nobody questions his attachment to France because he corresponds to the inconcient representation of a French man.
I apologize for my approximate English and I specify that I am a Frenchman of Moroccan origin with both nationalities.
Merci!!
You sound like Macron the imperialist
I am from morocco but born in the Netherlands and grown their up but my mother tongue is still the berber language (from morocco) but i still am a moroccain who is born in Holland so do they look at me in the Netherlands..
Imagine Nigeria or Japan was in Frances position, the citizens would protest against the national team. Lucas might not have been raised in France, but he is French by blood no? Umtiti, Areola, Varane and Dembele aren't. How do you west Europeans not understand this? I am not European by the way, I'm just baffled by your "mentality"...
@Jerome Builles French blood is the blood of the descendants of the people who fought for France. Of course now I don't think it can identified anymore as there are already millions of African and Middle eastern blood mixed with them. As for Varane, is he not a 2nd generation immigrant? Is what I was told. Anyways, I see no profit in arguing about one player out of dozens. Varane could have all French roots (let's assume he does) there's Umtiti, Mbappe, Dembele, Mandanda, Pogba, Kante, Matuidi, Fekir, many many more who prove my point.
In case anyone is wondering, this year 60 player from the world cup were born in France and for 95% of them training on the way to become pro was also in France.
indeed, with the mayority of them with african roots unlike the mayority of france population
Watching this the day Morocco won against Portugal 1-0 to proceed to the semi-finals of the Qatar World Cup
france good cuz france had a lot of black slaves back then. And black players are good at sport!
Nobody can deny that France is an awesome country for footbal, they build, make, create thousand players per year for almost every countries on earth, great players who can create great teams around the world, great teams who can create great games, great games who can create great competitions, a virtuous circle.
Instead of insulting France for having a lot of black in their team, just respect and admire how much this country give to the world and to the football.
You're right..
Amen
I mean, when Vox insulted?
Ravindra Nagrecha Vox didnt insult but many peoples are saying « give the star to africa » or things like that
@Ellie Ann Maria i agree im french so ...
Le Pen said the immigrant and sons of immigrant players harbor no real national pride, yet Kylian Mbappe, born to Cameroonian and Algerian parents, felt such a sense of national pride and duty that he refused to accept his World Cup salary and donated it to charity. 🤔
He doesn't say all of them, only the ones that don't sing the national anthem which is true, and world cup salary are are absolute peanuts in comparison to PSG salaries, the salaries they get are between 10 and 30K€ per match his salary at the PSG is 1.5 millions per months, so effectively 273k€ per match without the bonus.
He’s not wrong look at all the players who live in France but play for other countries... take advantage of a countries benefits and they don’t even support them in the World Cup smh.
Love Europe, Hate EU often when players play for the country of their parents it's because they are scared of harsh competition and don't want to end in the reserve team.
Some player may be ungrateful but it's not a reason to generalise.
Made me think of the Benzema case in which he is accused of being anti French but was revealed to be paying his taxe in France despite playing for Madrid in Spain where Taxes are more likely lower meanwhile some "respectable" French singers and actors weren't even denying that they live abroad to pay less taxes.
That's because they don't make the French National team. These players would jump at a chance to play for France but there's limited spots on the rosters so the go to other countries they're eligible to play for.
Love Europe, Hate EU
Most players who play for other nations its cuz they are not good enough to play for the French national team. Its not the case of everyone but thats the most normal scenario, but like i said there are exceptions, like Mahrez who decided to play for Algeria because he made that promise to his parents.
This video never even explained why the academy was so effective, it told us a history of it

@@DanielFenandes No, its local talent, not from all around the globe. Players are bord in France. Staff are bornd in France.

DongChan Kim yeah you're right. France does not only produce talents for France, but also for many African countries like Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Senegal etc. Those African countries I mention have so many French-born players in their squad.
That's why I always laugh when ignorant people speaks as if France buys talent from Africa, because it's actually the other way around. Many African countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire try so hard to convince French-born players to play for their grandparents' country. Look at the roster of Tunisia, Algeria, Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco, Senegal etc, you will see that the majority of their players were born, raised, educated and trained in France. The main language of Algerian football team dressing room is French, not Arabic because the majority of Algerian players were born, raised, educated and trained in France so they naturally speak more French than Arabic.
"Soccer" jeezzz get out
MUSUME breaktherules nobody cares
maybe because you are suckers at this game….
Thuram, Henry, Lama don't have immigrant parents they come from Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyane which are regular parts of France since a long time, their official status is in no way different than any other place of mainland France, the distinction is only geographical. In History they join France even sooner than some other parts of France like Savoy or Nice. So we can even say that Thuram, Henry and Lama are more French than some other white French.
Raphaël D Henry is from Réunion i think.
according to french wikipedia, his father is from Guadeloupe and his mother from Martinique. And Thierry is born in metropolitan France.

And this year you lost vs a french speaking team! Please keep entertaining me Penido!!!! 😊😊😊
Probably also that there is poverty amongst these communities. They have less life opportunities but a a way out is football.
BeAFreePerson Not true.
It’s more because :
1) A lot of kids in the french « banlieues » tend to play soccer all day long during their whole childhood,
and a lot of practice as such a young age made them good at soccer (obviously)
2) (Western and central) african genetics. Native people from those regions tend to be faster on a short distance and have more muscle power, which help a lot at certain soccer positions
Sony Ber speed isn't everything in football.
And the reason those kids spend all their time playing football is they don't have much else going on. Middle class kids would have other activities they go to. Football is cheep.
BeAFreePerson Speed isn’t everything in football,
but when 1 out of 500 kids playing football makes it to the pros,
Speed makes you stand out in a pool of players who have about the same skillset at yours.
Also, your second argument is not true at all:
kids in the french banlieues have really other things to do, this is France, not Bolivia.
All these kids have playstations, etc. I lived all my life in France so I know.
And don’t buy into the storytelling that the banlieues are the only « poor » areas in France while french whites are all rich or middle class.
There’s way more poor whites than poor blacks in France
Sony Ber ye possibly because whites are the majority. But if you take percentage than for sure there are more poor blacks than whites. And race does not mean much in football, Never has there been a black player considered the best in the world. Actually most of them are at least 1/4th white. Still do not think race plays within being good at football.

lol that's why people where so racist in the comment of matches
As a white french-american allow me to explain how dual citizenship works since this seems to be confusing racists. If a player is born and raised in France to African parents, he is French simple as that. He is African too, by heritage, but it doesn’t subtract anything from his French-ness. It’s not either-or it’s both. Here’s where the nationalism and racism kicks in: I live in America and my first language is English but my Dad and his family are french so I have french citizenship. When I am in France I immediately subconsciously switch over to speaking fluent french, kissing people on the cheeks, dressing more stylish, and I even become slightly more abrupt and sophisticated in personality. Nobody would question how assimilated I was or call me American and that’s because I’m white. But when a French-African does it suddenly they’re not french they’re just African.
tacokenny oh please. Stop talking nonsense. These so-called French have nothing French in them. They are the product of racial segregation and are born in mostly monocultural banlieues apart from the mainstream society.
They are not really French. They were born in France, but culturally and socially they are not French. I am French-Colombian and there is more diversity in the Colombian football team, where you see more proportion of whites, mestizos and blacks from all regions (representing all Colombia), than in France, where you only see the children of migrants from Paris.
Germain Martel,
Lloris is from Nice, Pavard if from Maubeuge, Varane is from Lille, Umtiti is from Lyon, Lucas Hernandez is from Marseilles, Matuidi is from Toulouse, Griezmann is from Macon, and Giroud is from Chambery.
Only Pogba, Mbappé and Kanté are Parisians.
I don't know why you say you "only see the children of migrants from Paris."
I guess I do, actually. You don't know what you're talking about.
Edwin Luciano the problem is that most of the population are not children of African migrants. That is the problem.
Look at Argentina, look at Brazil, look at Uruguay, look at Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Mexico. They represent their respective country's demographics very well. Now look at France... They represent one tiny sector of society: the African banlieu. They certainly don't represent French culture. There is as much in them, as there is American in a Lasagna.
Germain Martel, if you look at the Ecuadorian national team you will see that most of the players are from the parts of Ecuador where the majority of people are of African descent. Most Ecuadorians are not of African descent. The reason the team has so many Afro-Ecuadorians is because the point of having a national team is to compete and win; not to reflect the demographic reality of a country.
There is such a thing as Afro-Ecuadorian culture. It's a subculture of Ecuadorian culture in general just like the culture of the banlieux is a subculture of French culture.
And Lasagna, although Italian in origin, has an important ingredient that came from the Americas: the tomato. Like France, it's something that is European in origin but that has ingredients that came from around the world to make it better.
@Geramain martel....i doubt if you really are a ''colombian''....never heard a colombian subliminally complain about the French team that much. And also argentina do not resprenst there demographics.....many of them are european immigrants...where are the native indgenous players of agerntina ? same can be said about Uruguay, Australia all european migrant team...where is your ''selective outrage for that mon frere ?
Brazil also needs a national system alike if they want to reclaim their hegemony on football. Nowadays brazilian best talents go to Europe when still teenagers and national teams get orphan of their best players, which reflects very badly on Brazil national team.
What rules football nowadays is money and it is very difficult for Brazil to compete in this regard with the Europeans. I'm Brazilian and I remember that in the past our talents, before going to Europe, were already successful playing for local teams, but now they go before they even become known in Brazil. Money is one of and perhaps the main reason why Europe has won the last 5 world cup titles.
You're right, but for some reason good players become famous only when they play in Europe, no matter how good they are in their own country. I think it's not only about money, the world in general pays more attention to Europe.
For example, about 60% of Brazilian population (which is the entire France population twice) strongly support their local football teams, and they are well disputed with top players, and even so it's not interesting for many countries.
Let’s not forget the role of France in organizing both European & world football. FIFA & the World Cup & UEFA & the Euro tournament & Champions Cup were all born in France.
And how corrupt it is 😂
@@TheAmazingOtaku The entire world is corrupt wake up. You really think USA is less corrupted 😂
Et le ballon d’or svp
I worked in Clairefontaine for 4 years, it is a wonderful place to learn. The happy few students who enter this formation centre are truly the elite of French football. It is a very challenging training, but training in a gigantic centre in the middle of a regional park is a blessing.
Non french people trying to teach us who is french or not, very crazy. Overseas territories are a part of France with the same language, same laws, same rights, same passport. They are french like every other french living on the Europe part, they are under the EU law system as well, they use Euro currency. there is actually no difference between us, we are a united France. Just, our country is spread out around the globe. These are not colonies, but french parts and proud. People born in metropolitan France move and settle in overseas territories just as people from overseas territories move and settle down in metropolitan. These are not immigrant but french people moving in their country.
NOS DIFFÉRENCES NOUS UNISSENT, NOUS SOMMES LA FRANCE.
Those people are usually American. They are so self centered, they can't understand the world outside their small towns or cities.
France, where the women are feminine and the men just as much.
Fine that may hold true for most of what you said but no African country is part of French overseas territory lol.
Have I even talked about african countries? I am only talking about overseas territories. Drink some water and focus on the subject please.
Ahahahashha “ not colonies “ my friend go learn your history....
Thank you for this video much love from France :)
as French and banlieue man your vidéo is the most accurate vidéo about the french football ive never seen. nice work dude
French winning: Black Blanc Beur 🇫🇷
French losing: puts blame on the immigrant-rooted players or Muslims (Benzema, Ribery, Evra, Anelka, Pogba...)
Facts
Ribery is not from immigrant family and he converted to muslim being his wife was
Hdhdh Jdjs He's Muslim and grew up in the suburbs though
o o lol no
Leebpascal1 lol no. Even Cantona admitted it. They put blame on Nasri, Benzema not singing la Marseillaise at a time nobody did lmao
And France won the World Cup again ^^
Daï-mon : Le Journal de CZcams
They were extremely lucky. If Croatia had scored first, I believe France would of panic and loose.
Croatia played better, France lost balls to Croatians so easily, France always on their side.
France is boring..
I almost agree. Croatia had a great team. They also deserved the Cup.
Xeno Idaltu
Ya I watched the match, France was really lucky but football is also about luck actually
Croatia was better everyone know
4 times lucky I guess ^^
Daï-mon : Le Journal de CZcams
Not only luck, the guardian was really good so even when the other players let the ball pass he stopped
Croatian guardian on the other hand was that good
the guardians made the diffrence
France was truly lucky twice (penalty and when the adverse player helped them to goal)
Americans reacting after France won the world cup: "Africa won the world cup"
However when USA basket team win a major tournament all of a sudden the color doesn't matter anymore.
Big difference is Black Americans are not immigrants. They have centuries of US existence, if you knew history.
White and black American arrived almost same time.
I enjoy these videos so much! This guys deserves 100 million subscribers
Who's watching after France won
France won??
Jndthree lol
Champions du moooooonde !!!
Jndthree Are you by any chance from the United States of America?
And ima french
Hugo Lloris was born in France, in Nice, has french parents and great parents. He still did amazing job as goal keeper. Lucas Hernandez was born and raise in Spain, did amazing job in left defensive. Benjamin Pavard, born in France in the North of the country scored one of the best goal of the World Cup. Adil Rami, never played a single match because he isnt that good. Stev Mandanda, Alphonse Areola never played during the competition either.
Talent has nothing to do with your origin. The answer to your question would be 'France has better formation center'
Mandada did play the match against Denmark in the group states (France and Denmark had already qualified).
+ Padakeno Lucas Hernandez was born in Marseille.
Lem Nil what does it change? He is talented and that not because of his origin lol
+ Padakeno Ryu You wrote something wrong, I corrected it. Why not?
Lem Nil w/e
Absolutely agree with this video. Hard to leave together but also a real force when everybody is going in the same direction.
France barely lost 2022 world cup with a depleted squad.
correction: Mbappé was born from french parents of cameroonian and algerian origin
Well from a legal perspective this is correct. In terms of ethnicity it is not. It's like claiming that a bantu is a cherokee, when living with cherokees... he is not, but that's not at all a bad thing - it's just a fact.
Ethnic vision is stupid, we humans have a brain, not only skin colors
Yeah, but the nation of france (5th republic, since 1958) is fairly young. Your argument excludes almost 1000 years of french history, hence it must not be called "the beginning"
ThaRealDonBarbarian real talk! Well said bro 👏🏼
Rikus Redblack Yea,I agree but most people have nothing else to be proud than just being white
it's not soccer it's football
lets meet in the middle and call it focker
Tnx for amazing job.
An amazing piece. very well written
Imma just go settle in Paris, France and watch my children become stars. 😅
Yeah theres nothing fun about coming from a poor crime background and using football as a means to escape, like Pogba said they play football so much because there was nothing else to do as children, its nothing to glorify its actually very sad
"To make these players come from abroad and baptize them as the French team" nah nah nah Jean-Marie. I realize that even back then he used to tell half truth 😂
Quick precision : Alphonse Aerola was born in Paris from philippino parents so it goes even farther than Africa
[in french] super vidéo, tres bien réalisé et expliqué. Continue comme ça^^
From 1998 to 2018, 11 tournaments (World cups and Euros). France : 3 wins, 2 finals, 3 quarter-finals. Not bad.
Summary of the comment section:
Americans and Eastern Europeans telling the French what it takes to be French.
Well they are right, France has lost its culture and values just like the rest of western Europe, our only hopes left are from the USA, Poland and Hungary.
Amir Boutabaa USA is not really a good example but safety in eastern Europe vs western Europe only proofs that
videogamerka000 usa is full of ghettos and gangs what you talkin about lol
videogamerka000 You guys get attacks from your own people and have bad ghettos too tho
Amir Boutabaa, "culture and values" with USA, Poland and Hungary mean conservative politics with Trump, Kaczynski, Orban etc. ? And nationalism, anti-immigrant politics etc. ? May be sad for you but French culture and values are full of horrible liberal things at least since the age of Enlightenment and it's not easy to be culturally closed when, because a colonial history, 15 countries have French as official language plus the others french speakers around the world.
Good report, thanks. Vive la France !
Thanks Vox. Great video!
Gosh reading those comments made me sad...
Why can’t you understand that they are french?? They need to be to play in the national team anyway.
Almost all of them were born and raised in France.
I’ll never understand Americans ; why can’t you understand the concept of migration when it’s how your country was born??
France is a beautiful country with multiple ethnicities and I am glad and proud to be french and those players make me even prouder.
Also, football not soccer thanks 😁
Their blood is majority African. It doesnt matter where you're born.
That argument is nonsense because it's only ever applied to players that are black. If France had fielded 11 white players there'd be absolutely no discussion, even if they were immigrants, or the sons of immigrants (Griezmann anyone?). My own country Australia is largely the same but it's never discussed because the players all have a fair complexion. This is racism, because you're all feigning to care about the ethnicity of these players but the only thing you care about is whether or not they are WHITE.
It's usually not Americans who make that argument. Come on, you know how much an issue this is in Europe. People in Europe say that all the time as well as a lot of French people..
Eastern Europe*. You people have never known a black person in your lives, and yet you seem to be the most vocal about them, always on about propaganda and what not but how did you come to know what you know about black people? If refugee's are an issue in France, which I'm not denying, what exactly does that have to do with the French Football team? Do you know what channels their parents used to enter the country? If the issue is crime perpetrated by immigrants, what does that have to do with these football players?
If the french dont want other nationalities in their country then maybe they should stay out of other nationalitirs political and socio economic affairs esp in west africa.
Actually among the French squad only Umtiti was not born in France.
While 4 Croatian players were not born in Croatia: Rakitic (Switzerland), Kovacic (Austria), Corluka (Bosnia), Lovren (Bosnia).
yet it's the French team that doesn't represent its country, even though the vast majority of our players were born and raised in France and that's all that matters
Yes but because they are not black the racists like those in the comments won't make an issue about it
Umtiti 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Mandanda is from Congo... and i think it is also Tolisso who is from somewhere else
@@lassepertersen1576 tolisso is togolese
Would love an update on the numbers in 2022.
it was 60 this year
In the begining of the video I was saying "but dude! Morroco beat Portugal 1-0!"... oh, the video is four years old.
really good documentary !Love From France !
You mean love from Wakanda hahahhah
Tiens je pensais pas te trouver la toi
From Japan aussi ta oublié
Movie Jose cringe
La vie t'es partout, c'est dingue xD
France deserved their win, congrats to them from my heart :)
Thank you ! * w *
great video!
Thank you. Its Great
Dommage qu'on ne parle pas aussi des DOM-TOM (La Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, ect..)
Simon Weissenbach oui c'est vrai
C'est vrai, mais en meme temp les domtom c'est litteralement la france, donc les habitants des domtom sont considerer comme le son les habitant de la france metropolitaine, donc en parlant du pays france, ils parlent indirectement des domtom aussi.
Mais bon en vrai il y a quand meme assez peu de joueurs qui viennent des domtom en france
@@BenBen-hu3wu Dans l'EdF championne du monde, seulement Varane et Lemar...
Mais sinon il y a Lacazette, Thuram, Payet, Martial, Coman, Kurzawa...
les dom tom sont littéralement français aussi, à la limite on peut dire qu'ils sont un poil à part comme les corses, mais bref les dom tom c la france
Ouais je vien de la réunion
Vive la france, je parle français. Im born in America and french is my second language!
I wanna learn french. I'm spanish speaker.
Tu vient de Louisiane ?
Simply because enough time passed for kids who watched France winning the World Cup in 98 to become young adults and reach their best potential age for football.
After France won in 98 so much money was spent for infrastructures for football, football grounds, clubs for childrens and teenagers, plus so many kids took a football license in the following years. Now is the time these kids reached their potential and some became some of the best players in the world.
As a footbol lover ,this doc is amazing
Fier d'être français, de venir du 93 et d'être maintenant 2 fois champion du monde 💪🏼🔥⭐⭐
2,5 fois...
Joël Le Bras final 2006
Je suis brasilien et pas de besoin de parler
@@flanbenflen9069 ??
Ça fait plaisir juste de voir enfin le fier d’être français et le 93 regroupés dans une même phrase l'ami.
Thierry Henry is from Guadeloupe and Martinique so technically he’s not an immigrant
As well as Thuram
Is Guadeloupe and Martinique connected to Mainland “France”? No didn’t think so. So the migrated to France.
When India was under the rule of the British empire, would you say that Indian people who moved to Britain, not immigrants?
When prior to 1901 English people moved to Australia, would you not say they immigrated?
Your comment is the equivalent of saying someone from Hawaii immigrated to the US because they moved to California.
India and Australia were colonies (like Senegal or Cameroon were for France). Guadeloupe and Martinique are part of France. People there vote in French elections and everything.
(Minor side note: Algeria used to be like Martinique-- considered an overseas part of France-- but then it broke away and declared independence.)
Owen Rodgers So, is someone from Alaska moving to Florida immigrating to the US because it's not connected to the mainland?
Is an englishman from Gibraltar moving to Essex immigrating to the UK?
That doesn't sound right.
Cactus Jack Guy but Alaska is a state... Gibraltar is not a state or county of the United Kingdom or Great Britain. It is a territory.
Puerto Rico and Guam are territories... peurto ricans moving to America would be immigrating...
It’s really quite simple 👍🏼
Awesome work thank you ! (Everything is true !)
I think the real reason French players play for other countries' national team is because they know they don't have much of a shot at the actual national French team. BELIEVE ME, if any of those guys playing in African national teams had been called up to play for France, they would not doubt it for a second!
Does someone understand that classifying caribbean French as immigrants is the same as saying that afro-americans are immigrants too ?
I guess caribbean french people haven't been in France that long perhaps in general? African Americans are Americans since they have been in America for a long time. They are the most American people after native americans in my opinion. A lot of Europeans arrived relatively recently in the US.
+petera85
French carribbeans are French citizens for a longer time then USA is a country.
@petera85 that is true
Everyone is an immigrant in the USA except for the native americans.
Only the first generation are immigrants.
3:12 this is very sad because you're giving false information
Some are not immigrants nor children of immigrants, but french from french islands.
like Varane! He is half-Martiniquais half-metropolitan france, so 100% French!!
P V Varane is half martiniquen;they're a separate ethnicity fr ethnic french.
Martinique is France! There's no such thing as Ethnic french. I'm from the North of France and all my ancestors that I know of were born in the Northern part of France... however my family name is Flemish, and I have probably a good share of Flemish DNA! So am I ethnically French? What about the french Basque, the Alsacians, the Corsican, the french Catalan, the Britons...? Martinique is part of France since longer than Nice, or Alsace...
If you consider that being Ethnic French is being descendant of the Franks then you can't separate french from German/Belgium/Dutch... we're all descendants of the Franks! And you miss out on many french.
People from Martinique are as french as any other french, and as for "ethnic french", it's impossible to definite it, the history of France is what it is, frenchness isn't in the DNA, never was, never will!
P V "There's no such thing as Ethnic french... I have probably a good share of Flemish DNA... So am I ethnically French?"...
You accept "Flemish ethnicity" but not "French ethnicity"... If YOU don't have "French ethnicity", it doesn't mean there's no such thing as "French ethnicity".
Fundamental French ethnicity's traits are inherited since Gaulois and longtime before them. Various historical and scientific sources corroborate that.
I'd define Thierry Henry's ethnicity as 100% French, tho not completely "Gaulish".
@Clément Flemish are much more genetically closer to each others, they come from a small part of Europe and form a genetically distinct group. There's no such thing for french! French is a mixture of plenty of ethnicities... As for the Gaulish origins is too far ago. Modern french aren't much Gaulish, the Franks were a germanic tribe! Maybe the Britons (in Bretagne!) are the closer genetically from the Gaulish!
Great video!
Fier d'être français!!🇫🇷Allez les bleus🇫🇷🇫🇷
Naruto T ah oui !
Tu fais ton patriote en vrai t'es fière un mois tous les 4 ans...ça me dégoûte. En 2010 j'étais bien jeune mais j'ai pas le souvenir qu'il y avait autant de patriotes, et coïncidence la France ne passa pas les poules cette année là.
JojoFR Tu le connais pas, t'as aucune légitimité pour affirmer cela.
Je peux taffirme que je suis tout le temps fiers d'être français et il y a une différence entre pays et gouvernement
Je suis sur que tu es un petit belge qui a le seum
jojo tes peut être juste débile si tu pense qu’être fière de son pays ça passe que par le foot... réveille toi la réalité c'est pas le foot es tu fière de quelque chose toi ?
1:49 This Is Sarcelles.. My Town 💓..At The End Of 70's...Much Love !!!!🙌💗
I like this. Make more!!!
C'était une super vidéo continue comme ça
It’s the system, it’s absolutely beautiful, even Belgium have a similar system which allows them to produce wonderful talents, I was watching this documentary on Netflix and it was talking about all these French superstars how they grew up in the ghettos and the only thing they had was football, they mentioned that in France there are thousands of football
courts are the blocks and the academy really pushes them to play the beautiful game, same with Belgium and Holland, “Cryuff Pitches” all over the country, children develop great skills in 5/6 a side football, it’s tight, compact and only the skill full survive, that’s the difference between these countries and England, we don’t have a lot of these facilities and it’s not publicised and encouraged as much, this is why England will never get anywhere why other countries are continuing to produce sensational talents, don’t discourage 5/6 a side football for it where the very best developed their foundations, listen Iniesta and Xavi, everyone grew up to Futsal and then gone on to bigger things, please England, employ these method and success shall come
I can tell you that in suburbs of paris everyone is playing football all the time. The best kids can play with the adult and can progress a lot
This is Football. Football unites people 💪 Badly missing Football in Quarantine 😭
4 years later and here we are again
"We don't want immigrants. We want french players"
*wins world cup*
"Never mind VIVE LES BLEUS"
OHM-968692 the world cup didn't even finish yet and that is already happen.
You can't win anything with your own. It's not in your DNA. That's why the France FA changed plan.
Dream Work please elaborate, I'm curious..
Pierre-Yves Quiviger France always lose wars so they are not use to winning anything, so they recruit other people to do it for them. Is what he means
