    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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

      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.

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.

      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.

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.

      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.

      Who cares? The point of the video is to emphasize where most of these first generation players are raised. They are children of Caribbean and west africa immigrants and mostly raised in the northern areas of Paris. France is know to treat its immigrants like crap. Stop defending your country. America has major race and immigrant issues and so does France. France tries to pretend like it’s progressive but it’s not. French government erases people’s culture and identity and says you are “french first.” If that’s true why does France treat black Africans and Arabs ppl like crap? France has a major race and immigrant problem. The only problem
      Is that you guys don’t want to talk about it or admit it. France has a history of colonization, slavery, rape, and disenfranchisement and that is The TRUTH. How do you say in french ? La vérité!

      And the smart thing about the french gouvernement is that you don’t collect ethic data. So you can’t track racism and economic inequality among your most marginalized groups. So the french gouvernent says “we don’t have these issues.” Well duh of course you can’t prove it because you don’t track it. It’s an easy way to justify corruption and discriminatory laws. I have tons of black french friends. I know what’s going on there. Your government just voted to remove race from the constitution n’est pas? Please stop getting angry over a video that reveals Frances true diversity. It’s not majority white country (thanks to its history of colonization and slavery). Get over it.

      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, "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.
