I don´t know, but considering all the prize money of the last few years and the cash-grab friendlies organized by AFA since the world title, I suspect AFA´s finances are in a much better position nowadays. I wonder what Enzo´s french teammates at Chelsea are thinking about this incident. Quote

If they want to be insulting to the French team, they should at least get their facts right. It will be interesting to see how Enz Fernandez explains himself when he returns to Chelsea. Quote

Fofana has made a post calling it racist and Gusto has unfollowed him. Club now investigating the incident. Stupidity and ignorance. Twice in the space of the year too, and to film yourself knowing you have French/African teammates and play for a football club that has a rich history of French & African players is so fucking daft.

Camavinga being one of them and he was born there too. Quote

I just went by the players that have historically played for France that weren't originally French, as they were nearly all from the former French colonies. Quote

Sooner or later, a similar incident would end up blowing up, considering how different racial sensitivity (for a lack of a better term) is in Argentina. That kind of behavior is pretty normalized in argentinian football, from fans to players. Year after year, argentinian clubs are punished by Conmebol for racist behavior. Weeks ago, argentinian fans abused the canadian defender Bombito. It´s actually a bit surprising that it took this long to reach a wider international audience. Quote

Actually, I just read that his parents were originally from the Congo, but that they moved to Angola as refugees. Camavinga was then born in an Angolan refugee camp. Quote

Regardless, the silence was only making matters worse. This now needs to be handled in house and it'll be his responsibility to mend the relationship with his teammates. Looks like Jackson is already defending him but if the French players don't ever forgive him than I'll support them on that. Quote
Dave Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Surely has Fifa has got to issue bans for those involved in this? Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 17 Subscriber Posted July 17 Singing about France when you've just won a South American exclusive tournament would be bizarre if it was just dickhead fans. For the players to do it is a bit off the scale. What a bunch of absolute dickheads. Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted July 18 Moderator Posted July 18 So they sacked the minister wo demanded an apology from the team? What the fuck? Quote
